I find the combination of the web server and user agent flows for end user
authorization unnatural -- particularly poignant in the success response,
which has 4 parameters -- but one flow MUST have no more than 2, and the
other must have 3.  And apparently now the user-agent flow can receive a
verification code as well as an access token?  It's unclear what that's for
or how that's used.

I suggest the spec break the two flows back up to make it easier to parse
what message shapes exist.
