Hi,

In the ongoing struggle to combine SIP and the web, I submitted a draft about the combination of SIP and OAUTH.

The Open Authentication Protocol (OAUTH) provides a method for
clients to access server resources on behalf of another party.  This
document evaluates OAUTH's suitability as an authentication mechanism
for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for use cases where web
applications want to interact with SIP servers without sharing user
credentials.

As usual with drafts combining standards of two different WGs, there's the problem which WG is suited best.
