Hi,

Below is a complete set of my comments on this draft (I've pestered the
authors about a couple of early comments raised by idnits already).

idnits v3 (experimental) raised three issues, one of them is legit, one is
borderline, and the last is clearly in error:
- idnits points out that it is preferred if BCP 14 is referenced.  If you
need me to find you an example of how to do this, I can.

- RFCs to be updated are not in the Abstract.

- the third entry here is clearly in error.  Mea Culpa. (about open.org in
the references)

Section 1:  (improve clarity)  The token identifies the recipient?  via an
audience value(s)?    If that is correct, then maybe the second sentence
could be something like 'These tokens, which identify the recipient,
contain an audience value(s).  s/aud/'aud' (or something to make it obvious
that this is a field name).

Section 3, replacing text:  I'm not sure the parenthetical for Section 2.2
(The authors re not actually aware....)adds much. I would remove it.

Section 4 a. and b.:  Just to be sure I understand... for an authorization
grant the audience can be the token endpoint URL (and nothing else), but
for client authentication, the 'aud' claim value must not be the token
endpoint URL (it has to be the issuer identifier). Assuming that audience =
aud (audience) claim value.  [I have no judgement on this, just being sure
this is what you intended to say.]

Section 7.1.1, contact information:  I believe we can use oauth for this
contact (vice a person).  This is the authors' preference.


The publication window opens on Monday, hopefully it is fine to wait until
then.  Once these are addressed, I will put the draft into IETF Last Call
(3 weeks because of IETF 125).

Thanks for your patience,
Deb
