Section 3.5.1, version 01, says: "These clients cannot keep client
secrets confidential and the authentication of the client is based on
the user-agent's same-origin policy."

I don't think that the same-origin policy comes into play in this
case. Authentication of the client is based only on the end-user
validating the redirection URI.
