Requiring the user authenticate to the Consumer doesn't prevent the 
attack, as the attacker is a legitimate user of Consumer in the attack 
scenario.

What I keep proposing is that the user must authenticate at the 
_Provider_ before the request token request.  This would completely 
eliminate the attack in the scenario.

And yes, making request tokens one-time only is a MUST, IMHO.
