I believe Google is working on a proposal for an oob URI value to use as the redirection URI.

The recent OAuth 2 specs seem to omit the scenario of a client that cannot host or invoke a browser but could display a URL to the user and ask the user to enter a PIN.  Was this an intentional omission?  If I am correct, this forces those clients to continue to use OAuth 1.0, which is not only less desirable but it will limit which services they can access.

Thoughts?
