I've had this bug with a facebook app I built.. I thought the flow would be:

  - Ask for permission
   - Yes? -> Good you're in.
   - No? -> Ok, np see you another day, maybe.
But what was happening is there was a third flow..

    - Yes (But I don't give you permissions!!). 
And that created a nasty bug later on in the app.

I don't think it's a "flaw" because you can accept the first perm. dialog as a user, but deny the second one (Asking for more permission). But, I believe it should be more explicit that developers need to verify permissions on every actions requiring them.

basically provider could just return 'scope' for 'token' when you obtain it with 'code' along with 'expire_at' parameter
