I'm not sure "would not be appropriate" is the right phrase, but I agree
that the models are different.

OAuth is not short for anything. "OpenAuth" was originally proposed, but
Yahoo! was using that term at the time, so "OAuth" was picked.

The name of the WG is actually "Web Authorization Protocol"
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/oauth/about/

This does reinforce what I think is Denis' point -- this WG was chartered
for authorization protocol work -- not "identity" tokens.
