Inline discovery and pre-configured discovery (ie, .well-known) should at the very least be compatible and developed together. It's the pre-configured discovery document that's at the root of the mix-up attack in the first place.

Just to give more context, at IETF 94, I have done a presentation on discovery.

According to the minutes,

     (f) Discovery (Nat)
Nat explains his document as an example of the work that has to be done
              in the area of discovery, which is a topic that has been 
identified
              as necessary for interoperability since many years but so far 
there
              was not time to work on it. Mike, John and Nat are working on a 
new
              document that describes additional discovery-relevant components.
Poll: 19 for / zero against / 4 persons need more information. The document discussed there was https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sakimura-oauth-meta-05. This is a simple (only 1-page!) but a very powerful document that nudges towards HATEOAS which is at the core of RESTful-ness. It also mitigates the Mix-up attack without introducing the concept of issuer which is not in RFC6749. It is also good for selecting different endpoints depending on the user authentication and authorization results and more privacy sensitive than pre-announced Discovery document. It also allows you to find to which protected resource endpoint you can use the access token against.

In the last sentence of the minutes, it talks about "a new document that describes additional discovery-relevant components". This is https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-oauth-discovery-00. It went for the call for adoption. However, it is only a half of the story. I believe https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sakimura-oauth-meta-05 that was discussed at IETF 94 and had support there should be adopted as well.

    Thanks Hannes.

    I did not find
    https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sakimura-oauth-meta-05, which
    was discussed in Yokohama, and was largely in agreement if my
    recollection is correct. Why is it not in the call for adoption?

        Hi all,

        we have submitted our new charter to the IESG (see
        http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/oauth/current/msg15379.html)
        and
        since some IESG members like to see an updated list of
        milestones as
        well. For this reason, based on a suggestion from Barry, we
        are also
        starting a call for adoption concurrently with the review of
        the charter
        text by the IESG.

        We will post separate mails on the individual documents. Your
        feedback
        is important! Please take the time to look at the documents
        and provide
        your feedback.

        Ciao
        Hannes & Derek
