Maybe consumer_id then ;-)

Another thing which might be interesting would be to explain what all the
parts are good for. Like why a consumer name/secret, why a request token and
so on. I would assume that to some people it might not be directly clear and
it probably helps implementations if people know more why they are doing
things. But I haven't looked back into the spec so I am not sure if it's not
maybe already in there.

And (unrelated) another question: Is there a list of extensions somewhere?
Would be good to prevent duplicating efforts.
