In a vein related to Torsten’s recent thread and blog post, I’ve also been 
working on a proposal around Transactional OAuth. As many of you know, I wrote 
a blog post about the basic idea last fall, and now I’ve got something a bit 
more concrete online that people can poke around with. I’m calling it “XYZ” 
just to give it a name, and it’s online here:

https://oauth.xyz/

I need to be very clear: This is not wire-compatible with OAuth2, but is 
instead a transactional (intent-pattern) protocol that implements a lot of the 
core concepts and a few new ones in a different framework. There have been a 
lot of attempts to extend and adapt OAuth in the last few years, and in my 
opinion that’s gotten us painted into a bit of a corner as we keep trying to 
solve new problems. By breaking away from backwards compatibility, I found that 
was able to both simplify a lot of the concepts, make different actions more 
consistent, and make it more widely flexible.

Also to note, I’ve read through Torsten’s draft, and I think that his ideas of 
what’s in a “Structured Scope” could be a replacement for the hand-waving idea 
I have in the “resources” section of XYZ. I’m continuing development of this 
protocol, including a couple toy implementations, all of them open source. I 
have started a writeup in spec-language, and I plan to have it cleaned up and 
submitted prior to Montreal — where I’ll be attending in person and hope to 
discuss this as a potential WG item.
