OAuth and API Providers: Come on guys.

Oauth, even oauth2, seems like a classic open, design-by-loose-committee failure. Too many options and open ended decisions.

My hope is that now that the basecamp2 API supports it, their implementation will become the reference standard.

I hope there's some standardization too. You'd think there would be some coalescing around the most popular OAuth2 implementation: Facebook's. But even they weren't big enough to get people to settle on one.
