+1 for #1


#2 is awful; #3 is unnecessary; #4 "OAuth2" just has less meaning than, say, 
"Bearer".

#1 offers the cleanest separation between "using-a-token to authenticated a 
request" and "a delegation flow to authorize a client" which is likely to be 
helpful for lots of people now and in the future trying to get their heads 
around this complex space.

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Bearer token type and scheme name (deadline: 2/10)



After a long back-and-forth, I think it is time to present a few options and 
have people express their preferences.



These are the options mentioned so far and their +/-:



1. Descriptive, non-OAuth-specific scheme names (Bearer, MAC)

...

2. Single OAuth2 scheme with sub-schemes

...

3. Name prefix (e.g. oauth2_bearer)

...

4. OAuth2 for bearer, MAC for mac

...
