Since this is definitely of interest to others on the list--are there 
any updates on the dynamic client registration and autodiscovery drafts 
yet? I've seen progress on the Dynamic client registration draft 
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-dyn-reg-20), although I 
admit I haven't read the spec closely yet to provide feedback; but I've 
been unable to find indication of any autodiscovery work.
