"return the representation of the authenticated user" does that mean that the response will be the same as if we called http://twitter.com/users/show/id.format for the authenticated user? If so that would be awesome and means I could completely eliminate some of the extra api calls that I'm making. Doesn't matter too much either way though, since both Hahlo 3.1 and Hahlo 4 (which I've recently begun work on) both currently use the http status for confirmation.
thanks for the heads up.
