Concerning the friend code situation, I have 3 words (1 an abbreviation) that should put this entire situation in perspective: Steam ID Number.
Based on the description of the network we've been given so far, I suspect the "friend code" will operate in a similar manner, only applying to account matters rather than account-interaction (which begs the question why call it a friend code at that point?). When I attended a StreetPass OC meet recently the Nintendo rep in attendance said you could have your info in up to 5 systems, so I suspect the number would also be used in system transfers to verify the account owner authorized it.
