I have tried to accommodate both the use cases and concerns raised. The new
text allows the registration of composite response types in which the order of
the space-delimited values does not matter. However, every combination must be
registered in order to avoid developers guessing what an unregistered
combination might mean.
Feedback requested.

8.4. Defining New Authorization Endpoint Response Types
New response types for use with the authorization endpoint are
defined and registered in the authorization endpoint response type
registry following the procedure in Section 11.3. Response type
names MUST conform to the response-type ABNF.
response-type = response-name *( SP response-name )
response-name = 1*response-char
response-char = "_" / DIGIT / ALPHA
The space character (%x20) is reserved for defining composite response types.
Each composite response types MUST be registered, even if each of its
components
are individually registered. The order of components in a composite response
type
does not matter. The meaning of unregistered composite response types made
up of
individually registered values is undefined.
For example, the response type "token code" is left undefined by this
specification.
However, an extension can define and register the "token code" response type.
Once registered, the same combination cannot be registered as "code token",
but
both values can be used to make an authorization request, and refer to the
same
response type.
Also, change the definition of response_type in section 3.1.1:
response_type
REQUIRED. The value MUST be one of "code" for requesting an
authorization code as described by Section 4.1.1, "token" for
requesting an access token (implicit grant) as described by
Section 4.2.1, or a registered extension value as described by
Section 8.4. A value containing one or more space characters (%x25)
identifies a composite response type in which the order of the
space-delimited sub-values does not matter.
