I can see the value in this for signed redirections and callbacks. The problem, 
of course, is that once you mess with the request URI, it must be normalized 
which has been a significant source of friction in OAuth 1.0. If you have 
suggestions on how to add this functionality without introducing significant 
pain, we should discuss it.

I just dropped the whole thing and kept a one line reference to OAuth 2.0. No 
need to explain it.

Adding 'own' is superfluous.
