I was not aware that anyone had to bring WRAP back to the table, as I never 
realized that you dismissed this as a starting point. So I thought the process 
was to go through the use cases which will help distill out some of the 
function/features/requirements and I'm sure that will help use choose a 
strating point.

I don't know why you feel like I am dismissing WRAP (or its community). I was 
the one asking and pushing Dick to submit it to the WG, and have been the first 
to propose we use it as the foundation of the 'how to get a token' part of the 
protocol.

I have a lot of criticism about the how WRAP came to be, but I have only made a 
single complaint about its technical properties (using bearer tokens over an 
insecure channel, in which I am far from being alone). In other words, I think 
WRAP is a positive contribution and a significant part of what I envision OAuth 
2.0 to be.

As for the specification itself, WRAP doesn't include any signature algorithm 
which means there is nothing there to build on when it comes to the main focus 
of the 'using a token' part. We had previous WG rough consensus on dropping 
support for POST parameters and (for now) URI query parameters (which we can 
revisit). This leaves very little to work with in section 4 of 
draft-hardt-oauth.

I didn't see anything back from Dick (or anyone else) about my response to his 
proposal to start off WRAP, so I assumed there was no objection to excluding it 
from this specific discussion. If you want to bring it back to the table, 
please do, but explain why you feel that it's a better choice than the other 
three proposals.

As the specification editor, I have no interest in starting from scratch again. 
We have three texts offering a good starting point, each with a different set 
of pluses and minuses. We need to pick one and start picking at it, making 
iterative changes towards consensus. When we are done, we can always cut and 
paste it into the WRAP draft to replace section 4 if we feel it is the most 
effective way forward. But that's for later.

If we can't agree on the process, I don't know how we can agree on the 
technical details.
