Hi Dick:

Given that WRAP is so different from OAuth (as I know it), other than
the fact that OAuth could be used to negotiate the issuance of a WRAP
refresh token, I'm curious why you chose to associate this with OAuth by
giving it an "OAuth" prefix. It seems to me that it would only create
confusion in this space.
