-1 on requiring it to be part of core OAuth2.  Reasoning: It won't be a MUST
or even SHOULD requirement for either client or server, so adding it later
does not affect interop.  The actual schedule to finalize the signature
mechanism should not be affected either way -- it's fine for a WG to produce
2 or more RFCs if that's the right thing to do.  (If there were consensus
today on what exactly the signing mechanism should be I'd think differently,
but I don't believe there is.)

Caveat:  If there were consensus that OAuth 2 should simply adopt the OAuth
1.0a signature mechanism today, I'd be okay with that, just because there is
some proven code out there.

This is of course a trade-off.  My bias:  I really want us to stabilize what
has been spec'd so far and move forward with that while additional work
happens.  There are already multiple mutually implementations of "OAuth2"
floating around and I'd rather resolve that quickly.
