Added the word 'credentials' (e.g. "Access token credentials (as well as...") 
to make this clearer. IOW, when using MAC tokens, the token secret is the part 
that must be protected, not the token id.

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Security Considerations - Access Tokens

Hi all,

i've recently noticed that in OAuth 2.0 draft 22, in the section 10.3 there is 
this statment:

Access token (as well as any access token type-specific attributes) MUST be 
kept confidential in transit and storage, and only shared among the 
authorization server, the resource servers the access token is valid for, and 
the client to whom the access token is issued.

BUT in OAuth 2.0 draft 22 with Authorization Code and MAC Access 
Authentication, I can request a resource with Access Token sent in clear. This 
invalidates the "Access token (as well as any access token type-specific 
attributes) MUST be kept confidential in transit and storage".

Is it my error?
