6. Section 4.1.1 Authorization Request and section 4.2.1 Authorization
Request
To protect against CSRF I believe the state parameter should be REQUIRED,
unless someone can demonstrate a scenario where it is not used and CSRF is
avoided by other means.

We need more text explaining exactly how the state parameter should be used to 
prevent CSRF if we are going to make it required (I don't have a position on 
the actual proposal). Otherwise, including it with a fixed value satisfy the 
requirement without adding any value (just wasting bandwidth).
