I'm OK with changing expires_at and issued_at while keeping 
token_endpoint_auth_method the same.

Subject: Re: [OAUTH-WG] Proposed Syntax Changes in Dynamic Registration

As an implementor like Justin, I see no problem with changing "expires_at" and 
"issued_at" to the values proposed below.
It's a minor code change and I don't have a large deployment to deal with.

I also agree with Justin and Phil about "token_endpoint_auth_method".
