To follow-up to myself ...

I see that the OAuth people developed RFC 7628, which defines a new
SASL mechanism called OAUTHBEARER which fixes the concerns I had with
XOAUTH2.  And that is supported by Gmail; if I was going to write some
code, I'd focus my effort on that as it probably has the best long-term
support prospects.
