On the call today I clarified what is going on with all the different drafts. 
In brief:

draft-hammer-oauth - documentation of the OAuth 1.0 Rev A (with changes) 
protocol. This is done and should be approved by the IESG shortly for 
publication.

draft-ietf-oauth-authentication - the part of OAuth 1.0 dealing with 'how to 
use a token after you obtain it'.
draft-ietf-oauth-web-delegation - the part of OAuth 1.0 rev A dealing with 
'getting a token'.

draft-hammer-http-token-auth - an alternative proposal (meant to replace 
draft-ietf-oauth-authentication) which builds on top of OAuth 1.0 but cleans up 
the structure and removes the client credentials when accessing protected 
resources. It also changes how the request is normalized into a string before 
signing.

We have three options for moving forward with 'how to use a token'. Start with:

1. draft-ietf-oauth-authentication
2. draft-hammer-http-token-auth
3. something else*

* Do not suggest something else unless you are going to submit a proposal. It 
doesn't have to be an I-D, I am happy to do the editorial work but I will need 
a detailed proposal that is enough to turn into a specification.

Pick.
