A dedicated claim to flag client_id effectively == sub would be preferable, and much easier for RS developers to process. The AS is the authority and has all the knowledge to set / indicate this. I want to keep RS developers away from having to deal with grant types and having to make decisions whether client_id effectively == sub.
