Re: [OAUTH-WG] problem statement

It is a problem. For a few months now we have been going through this over and over again. The longer we work on this draft the more of this two-sentence changes people suggest. They don't make the document any better, create a false sense of comprehensiveness, and just further delay being done. 

So yeah, unless you can prove that there is an actual problem, we are done.
