I don’t have a current desire to use the HMAC or RSA schemes.
I do have a strong desire NOT to define an OAuth-specific way to sign HTTP 
requests, that isn't applicable to any app that wants to authenticate 
"important" parts of a HTTP request with a key, or doesn't follow the existing 
model for HTTP authentication (including interop given just a user-id and key).

My "use case" for HMAC and RSA schemes is that OAuth 1 (specs and 
implementations), plus Eran’s drafts, use it.

I would be happy to see HMAC and RSA schemes dropped from future OAuth specs 
completely (a la WRAP, but web-style).
