They are certainly not the same, and as you wrote further below, MTLS is
more secure. I also wouldn't call one of them the superset of the other one.

That said, they are similar in their functionality. One could, in
theory, use MTLS on the token endpoint and DPoP for the resource access
and vice-versa.

We could specify both, MTLS and DPoP in a single document. But I am not
sure what the added value of that would be.

Pending good arguments for a merge I would propose to continue the work
on both, MTLS and DPoP. They both have their merits.
