Not sure. Does the core spec always assume registered?

Two reasons:
- User-Agent flow probably does not return a refresh token
- much harder to capture the response from User-Agent or Web Server
(embed browser, watch title, ...), with device flow all this goes away

Maybe. Native apps are a main use case, more important than devices
IMO. Why keep devices in core and move out native apps?
