One interpretation of the purpose in the AS is to create tokens based on its authorization decisions, while direct submission of client-authored JWTs would be more in line with having the RS make those decisions directly. Even if they were hosted on the same hardware, I’d still push to use an AS-role component in order to optimize the decision making process and to not have to refactor (or risk duplication) of that logic later. -DW
