Re: [OAUTH-WG] I-D Action: draft-ietf-oauth-browser-based-apps-15.txt

After a lot of discussion on the mailing list over the last few months, and
after some excellent discussions at the OAuth Security Workshop, we've been
working on revising the draft to provide clearer guidance and clearer
discussion of the threats and consequences of the various architectural
patterns in the draft.

I would like to give a huge thanks to Philippe De Ryck for stepping up to
work on this draft as a co-author!

This version is a huge restructuring of the draft and now starts with a
concrete description of possible threats of malicious JavaScript as well as
the consequences of each. The architectural patterns have been updated to
reference which of each threat is mitigated by the pattern. This
restructuring should help readers make a better informed decision by being
able to evaluate the risks and benefits of each solution.

https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-oauth-browser-based-apps-15.html

Please give this a read, I am confident that this is a major improvement to
the draft!
