It seems to me that a single table is a better way to accomplish the goals set by the working group. The entire reason for adding the new location was based on the assumption that there will be overlap.

When an error code can be used in more than one usage location, having one will make the registrations simpler and it may be somewhat more apparent how the error code is used. The two structures are equivalent, but it seems to me that having one is more convenient and simpler than having four. -- Mike ________________________________ From: Eran Hammer Sent: 6/14/2012 2:53 PM To: William Mills; Mike Jones; Hannes Tschofenig Cc: oauth@ietf.org<mailto:oauth@ietf.org> WG Subject: RE: [OAUTH-WG] Error Registry: Conclusion We already have multiple registries. This one is about error codes only. I don't think the overlap is clear at this point between errors on the core endpoints vs error on the bearer and future auth schemes opting into this registry. So it is hard to tell which format would be better. The main question if we split the error registry into multiple tables is how registrations are done because currently, the template is used as-is to insert a single record into the IANA table.
