A question on this and how it relates to User Streams. Unless I'm mistaken (only took a cursory look/played around with User Streams), User Streams uses Basic Auth. So if my app uses both the User Streams API and the REST API, I have to both use xAuth for the REST calls and store the username/password to use for User Streams.
Am I missing something?
