Tokens hardly ever are portable between sites, thus I guess they'd need to be used only for matching URLs. I'm not sure if udd already parses target servers or calls uscan as-is, letting it do all the work. Second issue is, tokens are (initially) an user-"password" pair that requires further processing. For example, GitHub uses Basic http auth (https://developer.github.com/v3/auth/). If I read the RFC (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt) correctly, Basic auth gets mangled into a header and is sent as-is; no idea if other token-using webservices use fancier auth schemes. Even if just Basic is used, it might be simpler to not require the user how to do the mangling.
