FYI.  I have been noticing a substantial number of sites acting as OAuth 
Clients using OAuth to authenticate users.

I know several of us have blogged on the issue over the past year so I won't 
re-hash it here.  In short, many of us recommended OIDC as the correct 
methodology.

Never-the-less, I've spoken with a number of service providers who indicate 
they are not ready to make the jump to OIDC, yet they agree there is a desire 
to support authentication only (where as OIDC does IDP-like services).

This draft is intended as a minimum authentication only specification.  I've 
tried to make it as compatible as possible with OIDC.

For now, I've just posted to keep track of the issue so we can address at the 
next re-chartering.

Happy to answer questions and discuss.
