I echo Dick's sentiment, mildly -1 to splitting acquiring and using a token. It may not confuse people actively engaged in the WG but what about everyone else?
Also, as Torsten and I look at security considerations, I wonder if there are some examples that link the threat model for acquiring a token and using a token. So: 1) Will the decisions a service provider make when granting a token depend on, or affect, the use case for using that token? 2) Will the use case, grant type or other flow parameters a client selects for acquiring a token, depend on how they will use that token? I don't have concrete examples to back this up but possibilities include: automatic granting of access token, refresh tokens, non-secure channels, ??

Imagine how confusing HTTP would be if the request and response were in separate specs. _______________________________________________ OAuth mailing list OAuth@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/oauth
