Of course, a lot of things would be awesome, but I'm not optimistic
about them. Alas.

Or, to quote G. Spencer Brown: "What is not allowed is forbidden." ;-)
Interesting thought: Twitter is the *only* major API I'm aware of that
does *not* require a per-user or per-company API key. Sure, there's the
oAuth *application* keys, but there's no API key that tells Twitter
"this activity is coming from Ed Borasky, regardless of IP address or
account or application." It would make my life as a developer simpler if
a user of applications I create had to have an API key from Twitter to
use them. Would it complicate Twitter's life substantially to do that?
Do I need to bring a copy of "I Ching" to Chirp? Is there a favored
translation? The postings from Twitter on this mailing list quite often
appear to have been composed by a similar process. ;-)

Yeah, this doesn't really make any sense. Users already sign in to
OAuth apps and if they then use the apps, Twitter can tell what user
and app the traffic is coming from. So what is your need/point?
