I've published draft 
06<http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-bearer-06.html> of the 
OAuth Bearer Token 
Specification<http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-bearer.html>.  
It contains the following changes:
*         Changed parameter name bearer_token to access_token, per working 
group consensus.
*         Changed HTTP status code for invalid_request error code from HTTP 401 
(Unauthorized) back to HTTP 400 (Bad Request), per input from HTTP working 
group experts.

It doesn't change the use of 403 (Forbidden) to (401) Unauthorized as had been 
discussed as a possibility, also due to input from the same HTTP working group 
experts.

I believe that this addresses all the bearer token specification issues arising 
from the interim working group meeting and working group discussions since then.
