Can anyone point me to good reference material for understanding the
Authorization header in Section 5.1 of the OAuth 2.0 draft 8
spec<http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-08.html#authz_header>
and
the WWW-Authenticate section 6?

Specifically, some questions I have are:

   1. How to properly escape the access token for inclusion in the header?
   (suppose a linefeed or null character were in the token... how to escape
   that?)
   2. What do RWS and OWS stand for?
   3. What is the "realm" value? Is the "service" string that is always set
   as its value a literal, or a placeholder?  What are some actual values that
   might appear?

I'm sure there's an RFC out there that describes all this stuff.  RFC 2617
is mentioned as a source for some of this, but "RWS" doesn't show up
anywhere in that RFC, for example, so I'm not sure where the best place is
to look this up in.

Thanks.
