If I'm reading Mike correctly (and if I'm not it won't be the
first time I've misunderstood him), he's not really asking for
OAUTH to solve this particular problem but to clarify the
documents and beef up discussions of what is and is not in
scope.  He read the document and couldn't figure out whether
or not this particular problem is the business of the working
group.
