Thanks everyone for the update! Having a clear distinction between the
PKIX vs public key bound methods will help interop, implementers' job,
and it also appears good for security.

Questions:

For the public key method, is it really necessary for the client to
include its certificate in the JWK x5c parameter? This will make
implementation harder for developers, and I'm not sure it adds anything
in terms of security. Registering the public key parameters seems
sufficient to me.

I don't understand this - "in conjunction with a trusted X.509
certificate source"


Thanks,
