I am talking about the resource server. Specifically I want to be able to
quickly determine if an incoming request is 1.0a vs 2.0.  And since this is
a library it can't make a lot of assumptions about the specific environment
it's running in.

At first I thought I would check the oauth_version parameter.  It turns out
the 1.0a spec says that it is optional.  The only one that is required for
1.0a is oauth_signature_method.

Sadly we're long past time to change the spec to optimize for this use-case.
 (It would have been better to have a parameter for oauth 2.0 that is
distinct from 1.0a)  At the very least this message will live on in the
mailing list archives -- at best we document the proper way to distinguish
between the two versions somewhere.
