Re: [OAUTH-WG] I-D Action: draft-ietf-oauth-native-apps-08.txt

Hi William, Hi John,

I just re-read version -8 of the document again.

Two minor remarks only.

Editorial issue: Why do you need to introduce a single sub-section
within Section 7.1. (namely Section 7.1.1)?

Background question: You note that embedded user agents have the
disadvantage that the app that hosts the embedded user-agent can access
the user's full authentication credential. This is certainly true for
password-based authentication mechanisms but I wonder whether this is
also true for strong authentication techniques, such as those used by
FIDO combined with token binding. Have you looked into more modern
authentication techniques as well and their security implication?

Ciao
Hannes
