Sounds similar to the inflationary model of the Big Bang (Google Alan Guth). Basically, it says that there was a period of time (about 10^-15 seconds after the Big Bang) when the universe expanded at an unbelievable rate (faster than light) from the size of a subatomic particle to about the size of a marble.

Some people might initially say, "Hey! That means that Einstein was wrong!". However, those people don't understand what the Big Bang actually was. It was not an explosion in space, but an explosion in which space itself was created.

So, since space itself is expanding, the particles contained in that space are travelling at less than the speed of light, relative to that space. They are only travelling faster than light relative to a region of space that is not expanding (ie. here).

As for what you are saying, it makes sense that the edges of the universe are still expanding and therefore we may observe the particles in that space to be moving faster than light relative to us....but no laws of relavitiy are being broken.

I hope that makes a bit of sense.
