I would object to 'OAuth Authentication' being picked up by the WG as a work item. The starting point draft has expired and it hasn't really been discusses since Berlin nearly a year ago. As I recall, there was only very limited interest in it even then. I also don't believe it fits well with the WG charter.
I would suggest the WG consider picking up 'OAuth Symmetric Proof of Possession for Code Extension' for which there is an excellent starting point of http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sakimura-oauth-tcse-03 - it's a relativity simple security enhancement which addresses problems currently being encountered in deployments of native clients.
