So as a "generic OAuth client" implementor (specifically for CUPS, but anyone 
can use the C API), I am 100% in favor of providing metadata that allows my 
client software to provide "first party" security capabilities/functionality 
for whatever OAuth provider they choose.  I also don't think adding one line to 
the IANA metadata registry is a big deal, with or without people lining up to 
support it, but for the record I'd support it in CUPS.
