Hello

There are some unclear parts in OAuth 2.0 specification.

*1.* In 4.3. (B) there is following statement:

   When making the request, the client
   authenticates with the authorization server.


In 4.3.2 there is following statement:

   If the client type is confidential or the client was issued client
   credentials (or assigned other authentication requirements), the
   client MUST authenticate with the authorization server as described
   in Section 3.2.1 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-3.2.1>.

First statement states that client credentials must be always passed.
Second states that it is required only for certain client types.

Also, if client type doesn't provide credentials, there is no mean to
identify it and so impossible to check if client credentials were actually
required.

*2.* Authorization Code Grant and Implicit Grant use different URL part to
encode its response. Former uses query and later fragment. If request has
invalid or is missing response_type parameter then user agent should be
redirected to URL with error response where
error=unsupported_response_type. But if we don't know what type of grant we
are handling, where to put error parameters? To query or fragment part of
the URL?

Please clarify that.

Thanks in advance

Best regards
