The Consumer Request Extension addresses the very relevant use case of  
an OAuth Provider verifying a request from an OAuth consumer in which  
the context of an End User does not apply.  IMHO, OAuth is valuable in  
both End User authorization and Request authentication of a consumer  
(and most often the End User resource in the request).  The latest  
iteration made the oauth_token value required as an empty string.  Is  
there a relevant purpose to this outside of convenience and conformity  
to existing libraries?

I feel that the Request Token OAuth request falls into the category of  
a "Consumer Request" and given that this request explicitly does not  
allow the oauth_token parameter, should not any OAuth provider end  
point that does not have a context of an End User (but still would  
prefer verification of the Consumer) be consistent and not require the  
oauth_token parameter?

Thoughts?
