Description

I recognize this is a large task and maybe this is the argument for not publishing the plugin, given we are basically implementing part of a standard without all of it in place.

I'm not even really arguing for this to support all features of OAuth 2 or even consider it 100% compatible, but the use for this in FM is a OAuth 2 style flow - so shouldn't we at least get closer to the OAuth 2 spec?

Keeping in mind there are a lot of packages out there now that do OAuth servers in PHP: http://oauth.net/2/#implementations
