(Apologies to skippe and others who've had this discussion with me already)

I'll have to back-paddle a bit.

Yes, it's possible. It is possible AND secure if the server requires stricter
methods for app identification, which is stated in the spec as a MAY. The spec
does focus on web applications, and they're the supported usecase.

The way I've made my particular desktop application work is sort-of a hack, but
may be less fragile if the application has full control over the browser window
(e.g. WebView on Android, or bundled webkit browser for desktop apps)
