At the moment it is definitely just friends only. Strangers currently can't tag you in photos/use the face recognition feature.

I'd be surprised if it was ever implemented to that level as there would be millions of users to trawl though and billions of photos to match it to. I don't think it would be possible for some random to take a photo of someone they don't know, upload it to facebook and facebook then says "Oh hey, that's Bob Smith, why don't you tag him?". I'm pretty sure you can't tag people unless you're "friends" with them anyway, so I don't see how this would be different.

However, that said, I do not strictly agree with facebook implementing changes like this quietly, with no notice to the users. Be it a free service or not.
