Arnout, The draft on the use cases that Igor mentions reflects the cases that had been discussed before the publication of the OAuth2.0 -06 version. It does include the device flow. Then there was a proposal to move the device flow from the core specification to a separate draft (see http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/oauth/current/msg03038.html ).
Subsequently, the device flow was removed from the draft draft-ietf-oauth-v2.

Kuiper; Zeltsan, Zachary (Zachary) Cc: oauth@ietf.org Subject: Re: [OAUTH-WG] In dire need of the device flow Arnout, Please check with Zachary (copied here), who has been compiling the OAuth use cases. The idea has been to keep the use cases and the protocol aligned. So, if your use case is not present, please make sure that it is present in the next version of the draft. (Of course, the WG will need to support the inclusion of the material that had not been there before.) From what I saw on the list, there is no disagreement with the present draft. Igor Arnout J.
