I still don’t find it useful. I think the existing text overall makes this 
point already.

Hi Eran,

I would suggest to change it to SHOULD and add a reference to 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-threatmodel-00 sections 3.7 and 
5.2.3.

regards,
Torsten.

Hi Eran,

would you please add the following sentence (which was contained in the
original security considerations text) to the second paragraph of
section 1.0.1?

Alternatively, authorization servers MUST utilize
    other means than client authentication to achieve their security
    objectives.


I think it's important to state that authorization server should
consider alternative way to validate the client identity if secrets
cannot be used. The security threat document also suggest some.

regards,
Torsten.
