We all know that TLS certificates are handled by platform layers used by 
applications and not the applications themselves.  There is no code that 
understands X.509 certificates in most applications that use TLS.  They are not 
equivalent in complexity.

The draft would require adding code directly understanding the structure and 
fields of X.509 to applications using it.  Eliminate that, and I’ll support 
adoption.

The applications we're talking about are **already** doing X.509 when they make 
HTTPS connections.  It's not a new requirement.  The only thing we're doing is 
using the certificate for JWT instead of HTTPS.

As both I and Giuseppe pointed out, the requirement for applications to use and 
understand X.509 certificates means that the draft is way beyond the minimum 
complexity needed.

Eliminate application-level X.509 (which is an anachronism that OAuth and JOSE 
have moved away from), and I’ll support adoption of the next draft.

In case it's not clear from other messages in this thread: I think this draft 
should be adopted.  It solves several pressing use cases, with the minimal 
amount of complexity needed.
