Thanks for the detailed read, Atul. We’ll create a PR addressing these
suggestions.
Separately, while it may seem obvious with me being an editor, for the record,
I support publication of this specification as an RFC.

Subject: Re: [OAUTH-WG] WGLC for OAuth 2.0 Protected Resource Metadata
Hi all,
I'd committed to reviewing the draft at IETF 119, so here is my feedback up to
section 3.1:
1. Section 1: The sentence "Each protected resource publishing metadata
about itself makes its own metadata document available at a well-known location
rooted at the protect resource's URL, even when the resource server implements
multiple protected resources." has two issues:
* Typo: "protected resource's URL" instead of "protect resource's URL"
* This contradicts the statement in section 3, which states the
"well-known" should be inserted between the host and path components
1. Section 1: The sentence "The means by which the client obtains the
location of the protected resource metadata document is out of scope" conflicts
with Section 3, which says "Protected resources MUST make ... (it) available at
a path ...".
2. Section 2, "authorization_servers": since this is normative language,
instead of saying "Protected resources MAY choose not to advertise some
supported authorization servers even when this parameter is used.", should we
say "the list of OAuth authorization servers MAY be a subset of the
authorization servers supported by the protected resource."
3. Section 3, paragraph 1: The last sentence, i.e. "The well-known URI path
suffix used MUST be registered in the IANA "Well-Known URIs" registry" is a bit
confusing. Should it say something like "If not using the default well-known
URI, such URI path suffix MUST be registered..." This last sentence of
paragraph 1 can actually be dropped, and the first sentence in the 2nd
paragraph can be updated to refer to the IANA well-known registry.
4. Section 3, paragraph 2: The first sentence should capitalize "MAY" in
"...application-specific ways may define and register..."
5. Section 3, paragraph 2: The first sentence can drop the word "used" here:
"...URI path suffixes used to publish..." The sentence will make more sense
with that word dropped.
6. Section 3, paragraph 2: The last sentence is additional non-normative
language, and could be removed, or could be moved to the "IANA Considerations"
section
7. Section 3, paragraph 3: "...specify what well-known URI string..." should
be changed to "...specify what well-known URI path-suffix..."
8. Section 3, paragraph 3: Instead of saying "...publish its metadata at
multiple well-known locations'', should we say "...publish its metadata using
multiple well-known path-suffixes''?
9. Section 3.1, last paragraph: The sentence "This is required in some
multi-tenant hosting configurations" may be removed as it is not the only
situation in which a host may have multiple OPRM documents.
I will continue the review but I wanted to update the WG on my review so far.
