This list augments the set of features that are already listed elsewhere as being "REQUIRED" or are described with a "MUST", and so is not, by itself, a comprehensive set of implementation requirements for OPs.

in Section 15.1, I have to say this isn't a clear definition of what is MTI.

I guess someone could through comprehensive research determine exactly what might be meant by this section, but that doesn't meet the criteria of "very clear definition of MTI".

Actually, there is a very clear definition of what the minimal Mandatory To Implement (MTI) in OpenID Connect is - it's right in the spec. See the (quite short) sections:

*15.1.* <http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#ServerMTI> Mandatory to Implement Features for All OpenID Providers *15.2.* <http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#DynamicMTI> Mandatory to Implement Features for Dynamic OpenID Providers

Excellent, now you have put your finger on the precise issue with OIDC - lots of optional extensions and shiny trinkets and lack of a clear definition of a core subset for servers.

I realize its exciting for consultants, software and toolkit vendors to have that sort of optionality, but in practice, its NOT A GOOD THING in a protocol.
