Regarding the second comment I made below: I realized last night that Sections
3.7.1 and 3.7.2 get this more correct, by saying that an autonomous client
represents a "separate resource owner". So Section 2.2 definitely needs a
slight change, from:
"...and autonomous flows where the client is acting for itself (the client is
also the resource owner)."
to something like:
"...and autonomous flows where the client is acting on behalf of a different
resource owner."
Thanks,
Eve
