I see, this would allow for a longer user code. Yes, an extension
would be needed for this case.

The client can simply append the user code as a query parameter, so
the phone still deals with just a URL. But I guess the authz server
may or may not accept that (it could require a special param name for
the code or POST only).

Maybe we should start a thread about extensions. Sounds like a good
topic for next week :-)

Thanks for clarifying.
