My brain is offline, but I like the idea. Oh, and can you configure the list so a reply replies to the list and not just the sender?

i'd like to put together a spec for letting users authorize remote
application access without giving away their actual password.

here's a very preliminary idea:

1) remote webapp links to, say, del.icio.us/auth?return=http://
place.to.send.auth.key/
2) user ends up on a page that tells him 'grant access to http://
place.to.send.auth.key for write/read/decline'
3) chooses read or write or whatever and is redirected to http://
place.to.send.auth.key/?user=xyz&key=abc and this is logged to some
del.icio.us database. (or maybe this should be POST)
4) api will accept either password or the auth key

thoughts?
