Ask to a user in the sofa (watching a bluray movie) to find a web
browser to login and then go back is not an option. Nobody will do it.
So, it seems Oauth has the same limits of OpenId from this point of view.

Returning to solution C ... in the opinion of you, experts and founders
of OpenId and Oauth, there is any chance that a some point OpenId
Providers will converge on a common "submit API" ?
I have already the name: Embedded OpenId
:)

Thanks.
