Re: [OAUTH-WG] Proof-of-Possession Key Semantics for JWTs spec addressing final shepherd comment

Thanks for the detailed read, Brian.  You’re right that in the symmetric case, either the issuer or the presenter can create the symmetric PoP key and share it with the other party, since the effect is equivalent.  I suspect that both the key distribution draft and this draft should be updated with a sentence or two saying that either approach can be taken.  Do others concur?

+1 for the diagrams making the document more understandable.
One little nit/question, step 1 in both Symmetric and Asymmetric keys shows the Presenter sending the key to the Issuer. It's possible, however, for the key to be sent the other way. Presenter sending it to the Issuer is probably preferred for asymmetric, especially if the client can secure the private keys in hardware. But I don't know if one way or the other is clearly better for symmetric case and PoP key distribution currently has it the other way<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-pop-key-distribution-02#section-4.2>. Should the intro text somehow mention the possibility that the Issuer could create the key and send it to the Presenter?
I know it's only the introduction but it was just something that jumped out at me.
