Indieweb-style OAuth Show more OAuth is nice for allowing people to share their data between two sites, if those sites have formed a prior relationship by exchanging keys. Is there some way to enable a user to share their private data between two sites without making the data public and without the sites having prior knowledge of each other, assuming the data is in some standard form that both sites understand, such as ActivityStreams? @cwebber, maybe you have opinions on this?

Did I ever end up talking to you about this? IndieAuth is a solution to this exact problem, as it replaces the need for client registration with making client IDs be the URL of the app and omitting the secret. (You can't use a secret on mobile apps anyway.) IndieAuth means apps don't need a prior relationship with the server.
