draft-ietf-tokbind-protocol will need significant attention, especially
from folks with application security, privacy,  and web services
backgrounds.  Though the draft isn't very long, it describes a general
method of binding application security tokens to a channel and reusing them
with a server as well as methods for taking those issued by one server and
using them elsewhere.  The interaction between the binding and application
semantics will likely be a focus of reviews, as would be the privacy
implication of a long-lived token of this type (though the draft presumes
the ability to clear state, it's not at all clear that this would be
available to mobile apps or similar).

draft-ietf-tokbind-https will need a similar amount of attention,
especially from folks familiar with HTTP semantics (headers and status code
semantics being two areas of concern).  In essence, this is the worked
example of the protocol, embodied in HTTP.

regards,

Ted
