Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Minor questions regarding draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token-19



Doing my shepherd write-up I had a few minor questions:



* Could you move the RFC 6755 reference to the normative reference section? 
Reason: the IANA consideration section depends on the existence of the 
urn:ietf:params:oauth registry.



OK



* Could you move the JWK reference to the informative reference section?

Reason: The JWK is only used in an example and not essential to the 
implementation or understanding of the specification.



OK



* Would it be sufficient to reference RFC 7159 instead of the [ECMAScript] 
reference?



No.  There's no equivalent to Section 15.12 of ECMAScript about the lexically 
last member name to reference in RFC 7159.  See the usage in the first 
paragraph of 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token-19#section-4.



* The document registers 'urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type' and it is used in 
the "type" header parameter.



The text, however, states that the value can also be set to jwt. Why would 
someone prefer to use urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type instead of the much 
shorter jwt value?



There are use cases, such as using JWTs as tokens in WS-Trust, where a URI is 
needed.



Ciao

Hannes



Thanks for doing this.
