Yes.  I've been thinking of it as "role account authentication with
OAuth", because that's the main place I see it being really useful.

Here's how I would model it:

- send an RSA-signed message to an authorization server
- authorization server returns an access token (and possibly a secret)
to the client
- client uses the access token for data access
