My quick list:

* terminology - 'request a request token'
* Handling of "required" empty parameters.
* plaintext secret w/ empty access token (<something>&<blank>, not <something>)
* realm handling
* clearer explanation of creating the signature base string (in my
experience, this is the source of most problems)
* explicit definition of 2-legged auth
* sections 6 and 7 being approximately the same thing
