COMMENT:

Thank you for the work on this document. I only have minor comments, the most 
interesting is probably 4. about if additional failure behavior should be 
defined at the AS.

1. -----

   A Request Object (Section 2.1) has the "mime-type" "application/

FP: Please use "media type" instead of "mime-type" and reference
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838

Mike> Thanks, updated, although referencing RFC 2046 for the term "media type" 
(which is not superseded by RFC 6838).

2. -----

   The following is an example of the Claims in a Request Object before
   base64url encoding and signing.  Note that it includes the extension

FP: This example is the first time "base64url" appears in the document. I think 
it would make sense to mention that base64url is used when JWT is introduced, 
for example in the first paragraph of section 4.

Mike> Reference added.

3. -----

   If decryption fails, the Authorization Server MUST return an
   "invalid_request_object" error.

...

   If signature validation fails, the Authorization Server MUST return
   an "invalid_request_object" error.

...

   If the validation fails, then the Authorization Server MUST return an
   error as specified in OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749].

FP: very minor, but I suggests you add "to the client, in response to the 
request defined in 5.2.2. of this specification". The reason is that the doc 
specifies that the AS might be having other exchanges (to fetch the Request
Object) at the same time, and it can't hurt to be precise. Also regarding the 
reference to RFC 6749 - can you add a specific section to reference?

Mike> Done

4. -----

   specified in the "alg" Header Parameter.  If a "kid" Header Parameter
   is present, the key identified MUST be the key used, and MUST be a
   key associated with the client.  Algorithm verification MUST be

...

   same parameter is provided in the query parameter.  The Client ID
   values in the "client_id" request parameter and in the Request Object
   "client_id" claim MUST be identical.  The Authorization Server then

FP: "MUST be a key associated with the client" - what if it is not? does the AS 
return an error to the client then? Same comment "... MUST be identical" - is 
any error returned if it's not?

Mike> I believe that the responses to these validation errors are already 
described in the following paragraph, which says "If signature validation 
fails, the Authorization Server MUST return an 'invalid_request_object' error 
to the client in response to the authorization request."

5. -----

   location, (b) check the content type of the response is "application/

FP: For consistency, please change "content type" to "media type".

Mike> Done

                                Thanks again,
                                -- Mike
