The latest draft shows TLS 1.2 as a MUST (sections 3.1 and 3.2). Based 
on a thread about this from last year I was under the impression that it 
was going to be relaxed to a SHOULD with most likely TLS 1.0 (or 
posssibly SSLv3) as a MUST. I think it's a bit unrealistic to require 
1.2 when many systems out there can't support it. IMO this is going to 
be a big stumbling block for people to implement a compliant OAuth 
system. Even PCI doesn't require 1.2.
