Yes ­ one of the design goals for Oauth-WRAP was to eliminate the request
token. 

It is very tricky for SPs to implement the Request Token due to data
replication issues. The Request token could be issued to the client in one
data center, and then immediately submitted by the browser to a different
data center. This means that the data has to be very quickly replicated.

On the client side of things, if the AS¹s approval screen is displayed in a
popup window (like Facebook Connect) - it could be tricky to tricky for the
client to pre-fetch the request token before displaying the ³Connect² button
in order to get around popup blockers.
