Dynamic client registration is used for two things: * Permitting clients to interoperate with any Pump.io instance (e.g. I develop a mobile client called Impeller which does dynamic client registration in order to get OAuth client credentials for a given device:site pair) * Permitting instances to register with each other. The dialback authentication comes into play in this case: presenting a dialback credential during the client registration allows creation of a client ID with the permissions of a given account. (Incidentally, dialback is the one area of the Pump API which assumes any particular user ID form. Minor revision to just take any URI would permit both user@host and URI forms, in line with e.g. OpenID Connect) (Apologies to Goix for the double mailing; forgot to reply all)
