What is the assertion format? Binary? XML? Should the library encode it? Is the 
application using the library responsible for providing it with a URI-safe 
string?

I think this is similar to the scope parameter argument, that
libraries cannot really
use an opaque scope. OAuth libraries will neither generate nor consume the
assertions, the assertion itself can be opaque. The client application needs to
obtain an assertion somehow, this is out of scope, then pass it to a library and
the library can use it as is, pass it to the Authorization Server and
deal with the
response. Works perfectly fine IMO.
