Thank you. Thats what I thought. Is it just assumed JWT would/might be used an access token format for Bearer token auth? Or is there another draft somewhere for that? Is anybody out there using JWS + JWT as a access token format?

draft-ietf-oauth-jwt-bearer is only about interactions (client
authentication and JWT as an authorization grant) with the token
endpoint and doesn't define JWT style access tokens.

    Red Hat Keycloak [1] only supports basic auth for client

    Does draft-ietf-oauth-jwt-bearer relate to OAuth Bearer token auth
    [2]?  Or is there another document I should be following?  I'd like
    to see what other claims are being discussed related to JWT-based
    access tokens and may have some additional access token claims we've
    been experimenting with others might be interested in.

    Also, I'm not sure yet if we'll implement
    draft-ietf-oauth-jwt-bearer to authenticate clients.  A lot of our
    initial users are more interested in public clients and/or the
    implicit flow as they are writing a lot of pure javascript apps
    served up by simple static web servers.
