Thanks for a quick reply, Justin.

What’s really going to happen is that an RS is going to get a request with this token and it’s going to have to figure out how to deal with it. If there’s a signature (like in http-message-signing) then it’s going to need to find the key. If it can’t read the key out of the cnf claim then it won’t be able to validate the signature and won’t process the message. If that’s the case then this RS can’t accept this token. If this is the case, handling text would be helpful in the draft. > > This has nothing to do with bearer tokens vs. PoP tokens. It’s not really any different from an RS accepting JWT bearer tokens needing to be able to parse or process the JWT bearer token to figure out what it’s good for. Right? If this is the case, new text would be helpful, it's a little confusing as-is and I would assume what you assume above too. Hopefully, new text is a simple fix as I'd like to start IETF last call soon on this and the architecture draft (as in this week soon).
