I'm surprised that this is OK. Why is this safe or a best practice?

    /The Application Server can store the access token either server-side, /
    /or in the cookie itself./


What are appropriate browser APIs? (Maybe providing some guidance or a 
hint regarding this?)

    /The JavaScript app is then responsible for storing the access token /
    /(and optional refresh token) securely using appropriate browser APIs./


Can the access token be included the various (all) available transport 
methods? Query string, Header, Post, etc.

/When the JavaScript application in the browser wants to make a request 
to the Resource Server, it can include the access token in the request 
(D) and make the request directly./


Thanks,
