Hi Brock,

Generally, yes. It should be possible to use the OAuth 2.0 for First Party
Apps to obtain the device secret by specifying the "device_sso" scope which
identifies that a device_secret should be returned from the token endpoint.

Of course, the OAuth 2.0 for First-Party Applications wasn't even an idea
when this spec was started. That said, given the spec is just at the
implementers draft stage, updating it to current times makes sense...
though it will likely introduce breaking changes for those who have already
implemented the spec. That might not matter too much if the implementations
are local to a first party environment.

Thanks,
George
