My assumption about the new token_type parameter is that it would be used to 
communicate the data type of the token -- not the class of the token.  I was 
imagining token_type values like:
        SWT
        JWT
        urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:assertion
        urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion

Or Eran, did you mean for the token_type to be more like the WS-Trust 1.3 
wst:KeyType parameter, where values defined by that spec are:
        http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-trust/200512/PublicKey
        http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-trust/200512/SymmetricKey
        http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/wstrust/200512/Bearer

I hope you meant the former, as this information would be generally useful (and 
something I know that our developers have asked for, based upon their 
deployment experiences).

                                Thanks,
                                -- Mike

Yes. 'bearer' seems sensible, but I don't really care. I am going to define 
'mac' in my own extension.

No. It will simply describe the general flow and how to define (register) token 
types and authentication methods for those types. IOW, all spec-talk. You can 
decide how it works and implement and deal with the extension paperwork later.
