I finished the major part of -17, adding a new Client registration section and
folding client authentication into it. This new text attempts to directly
address:
* client authentication requirements
* define client types with regard to keeping secrets
* set registration requirements
* properly explain client identifier
* replace client credentials with a more generic client authentication (in
terms used throughout the document)
* provide a comprehensive discussion of redirection URIs (this is where the few
normative changes are)
* tweak the implicit and authorization code intros to better reflect reality
('optimized for')
* separate client identifier from client authentication (keep binding
requirement)
Normative changes (this should be verified):
* require client authentication for private clients (previously implied)
* require redirection endpoint registration for implicit grant and all for
public clients requests
* remove client_id as a required parameter from the token endpoint (now back to
being part of the client_secret pair)
The draft includes other changes like new error codes, but I'll list those when
the draft is published. I still have about 32 more items on my list to apply
before publishing, but the major changes are done.
You can always find the latest here:

Early review of the following sections would be GREALY appreciated:
2. Client Registration
2.1. Client Types
2.2. Registration Requirements
2.3. Client Identifier
2.4. Client Authentication
2.4.1. Client Password
2.4.2. Other Authentication Methods
2.5. Unregistered Clients
3.1.2. Redirection URI
3.2.1. Client Authentication
-17 will be published by Friday at which point I will leave it to the chairs to
decide if they still want to initiate WGLC or give the draft a few days of
informal review.

> 2.1.1. Redirection URI

> In section 2.1.1, please note that it includes many new normative

> incapable of keeping secrets).

> I have turned the spec around, making registered redirection URIs the
