<mentor>Are you sure you want to continue this discussion with a vote at this 
point?  It's OK to have votes about anything you want :-) but.... they tend to 
be polarizing and end up with a losing side who may not be happy.  I think that 
trying to get a consensus on design decisions through discussion is often a 
better route.</mentor>

<interested party>  I don't understand the details of this proposal.  Could 
someone come up with a realistic example showing how the "same" OAuth message 
would be sent using annotations, and not using annotations, and what would 
happen internally to this information?  It might be obvious to anyone who knows 
anything about oauth but  would help me out a lot </interested party>

thanks
