Since XML was dropped, if you feel strongly about this, please submit a new I-D 
extending the spec to allow XML format responses. Don't worry about how to 
extend it, just add parameters or whatever for now.

Subject: Re: [OAUTH-WG] Definition of XML response format

In the absence of anyone else volunteering an XML format, what would you say to 
this as a proposal (because the implementation of which happens to be simple 
for me):

<root type="object">
   <access_token type="string">some access token</access_token>
   <refresh_token type="string">some refresh token</refresh_token>
   <expires_in type="number">235298298</expires_in>
</root>

So the main points here is:

 1.  no namespace
 2.  root tag is called "root"
 3.  each parameter is an element
 4.  each element has a type parameter that is either string, number, or object 
to assist the deserializer to understnad how to cast the contents.
We may axe #4.  In fact we may want to switch all the elements to attributes 
because it's slightly more compact which might help small devices.

Where is the definition of how a auth server response in XML format should 
look?  At the least we need an XML namespace and root node name.
