The client does need to know how to authenticate. But given that it already has 
to know a lot about the service, you would think acceptable authentication 
types are well known to the client. 

What is the problem with the client authenticating like any normal web service 
client? (IE outside of oauth) 

Why involve oauth in any authentication for User or client?

I have some thoughts but interested in yours.
