OAuth Core doesn't use HTTPbis. Many of these parameters are often used as URI
query parameters, so whatever encodings are specified must work there. What
syntax and encodings would you suggest for the OAuth Core parameters that need
to work with HTTP Basic as specified in RFC 2617?
Other suggestions are welcome as well.
URI query parameters are all US-ASCII by definition.
The interesting question is whether you define something abstract (and
then describe the mapping to protocol elements) or not.
In the first case, you need to define in terms of *code points*, not
*octets*, and then specify the encoding into, for instance, URI query
parameters (such as: UTF-8-encode then percent-escape).
It's unfortunate that HTTP Basic is broken with respect to I18N, please
don't add new stuff to this mess (->
