Draft 15, section 2.1


 Since requests to the authorization endpoint result in user
   authentication and the transmission of clear-text credentials (in the
   HTTP response), the authorization server MUST require the use of a
   transport-layer security mechanism when sending requests to the token
   endpoints.  The authorization server MUST support TLS 1.2 as defined
   in [RFC5246], and MAY support additional transport-layer mechanisms
   meeting its security requirements.

I'm confused by the fact that token endpoints must use HTTPS due to a trait of the authorization endpoint.  Am I missing something here, or is this perhaps a misprint?
