I'll go as far as claiming that OAuth is a traditional client-server model. The 
client uses a token to access resources. The fact that those resources are 
owned by a third entity doesn't change the nature of the interaction.

Now, how the client gets the token is a different story in which the user plays 
a role. But it is important to separate the two parts. To get a token, the 
client brings the user into context, current via a user-agent.

It is time to admit that while the terms fit the model, they confuse the shit 
out of everyone reading the spec. That's a clear FAIL.
