Re: [OAUTH-WG] FYI per a request on the last conference call, this is a method for making client registration stateless.

I am assuming that this draft fits with the dyn reg draft.  It makes the assumption that every single client is somehow potentially different in terms of registration.  This draft encodes the registration values in the JWT so that stateless registration can be achieved.

Dynamic registration takes a different view from client association, in that dynamic registration has no notion of fixed client software releases that are deployed many times. As such there is no fixed registration profile. Every client is potentially different. In contrast Client Association + Software statements, clients are identified as a particular software and are fixed. 

Have I read this correctly?

From a policy perspective, how would a service provider handle registration of clients that are all potentially different? Why would individual clients need to differ in registration (other than in the tokens negotiated with a particular deployment SP)?
