I don't think this one is going to work in practice.  Manufacturers
may not point users directly at the OAuth approval page.  They are
going to end up pointing users to something shorter, e.g.
"http://google.samsung.com";.  That web site will then redirect the
user to the right approval page.

Otherwise we end up needing to tell users to manually type-in long,
complex urls like
https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorize?client_id=1238979.

Cheers,
Brian
