in my opinion, the problem with client authentication is more the secure 
distribution of the secret than the storage. How should a USIM help here?

Thanks Igor,

If you bring smartcards into the picture, then it's a different
ballgame :)

If mobile phones are assumed to have smartcards (which is increasingly
true today via USIMs), then OAUTH can assume that native apps (running
on the phones) may have access to crypto-store. In this case the text
in Section 9 of draft-16 would needs changes/clarifications.
