Section 5.2, paragraph 5, comment:
>    The entire Request URI MUST NOT exceed 512 ASCII characters.  There
>    are three reasons for this restriction.

What is the third reason? Also, 512 bytes at 2G speeds (~40Kb/s) take ~100ms to
transmit; it's not clear that larger payloads would therefore be so much worse,
given that the 2G latencies are probably the overriding issue here. Would a
SHOULD NOT suffice?

All comments below are very minor change suggestions that you may choose to
incorporate in some way (or ignore), as you see fit. There is no need to let me
know what you did with these suggestions.

Section 4, paragraph 10, nit:
-    Signing it with the "RS256" algorithm results in this Request Object
+    Signing it with the "RS256" algorithm [RFC7518] results in this Request Object
+                                          ++++++++++
