Just another quick note:

The document at...
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/oauth.html
...states that "Google uses the draft OAuth Gadgets Extension to
provide the URL of the gadget on whose behalf the request is being
made to service providers".

But the draft spec that it links to state specifically:
> This extension defines one additional OAuth parameter to be used in OAuth 
> requests originating from an > OAuth consumer:

>    xoauth_app_url:
>        The URL of the gadget originating the OAuth request.

> A consumer MUST include the xoauth_app_url parameter in requests to the the 
> Request Token URL and
> Access Token URL at the Service Provider

That's not what Google has implemented:

> opensocial_app_id%3D10744\9613425304803885
> opensocial_app_url%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fhosting.gmodules.com%2Fig%2Fgadgets%2Ffile%2F102845035461294445368%2Fexercise_oauthtest_test.xml
> opensocial_owner_id%3D101691534457182538500
> opensocial_viewer_id%3D101691534457182538500

Clearly, Google's implementation provides the same information by way
of the "opensocial_app_url" information, but it cannot claim to adhere
to the draft spec.

I'm sorry if it sounds like I just want to bash, but that's not my
goal. I just want to have a clear roadmap along with clear and
*correct* documentation to get there. I've made a big commitment to
the gadgets platform and I'm hoping that Google will show the same
commitment.
