Re: [OAUTH-WG] draft-bertocci-oauth-access-token-jwt-00

[Hans Zandbelt <[e-mail]>]

Without agreeing or disagreeing: OIDC does not apply here since it is not
OAuth and an access token is not an id_token.
The JWT spec says in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.2:

"The "sub" (subject) claim identifies the principal that is the
   subject of the JWT.  The claims in a JWT are normally statements
   about the subject.  The subject value MUST either be scoped to be
   locally unique in the context of the issuer or be globally unique.
   The processing of this claim is generally application specific"

which kind of spells "client" in case of the client credentials grant but I
also do worry about Resource Servers thinking/acting only in terms of users
