To be honest, I thought that was a relatively well known aspect of TLS 1.2
(and prior) and a noted difference of the new features in TLS 1.3. Also,
I'd note that we're well past WGCL for this document. But, with that said,
I suppose adding some privacy considerations text on the subject is
worthwhile. Would you propose some text for the WG to consider, John-Mark?
Bearing in mind that the implications of a certificate presented by, and
representing, an OAuth client are somewhat different than for an end-user
doing client cert authentication.
