OpenID/Oauth hybrid [was Re: specs Digest, Vol 27, Issue 3]

[Allen Tom]

In the registered consumer case, why not just do:

openid.assoc_handle=consumer_key
openid.mac_key=consumer_secret

?

In the unregistered consumer case, the OpenID association request could 
be extended to hand out Consumer keys, which are then used as the 
association handle. The scopes and realm could be passed to the 
association request as well.
