I am not supportive of adoption of this document at this time.

I am supportive of the concepts in the document. Building upon existing,
widely used, proven security mechanisms gives us better security.

HTTP Sig looks very promising, but it has not been adopted as a draft, and
as far as I know, it is not widely deployed.

We should wait to do work on extending HTTP Sig for OAuth until it has
stabilized and proven itself in the field. We have more than enough work to
do in the WG now, and having yet-another PoP mechanism is more likely to
confuse the community at this time.

An argument to adopt the draft would be to ensure HTTP Sig can be used in
OAuth.
Given Justin and Annabelle are also part of the OAuth community, I'm sure
they will be considering how HTTP Sig can apply to OAuth, so the overlap is
serving us already.
