Eran, during the WG meeting in Prague you said the same thing, and I
tend to agree. Yes, client authentication is a good thing, but given
that OAuth happens over HTTP I don't see why we can't just use existing
HTTP authentication schemes. If BASIC and DIGEST aren't good enough,
then someone needs to develop a new HTTP authentication scheme. However
that's not a job for the OAuth WG as far as I can see...
