But as a developer working on following this specification, this does not add much value and just adds more noise to the document. I think that all these, options considered but not pursued, could be captured in an appendix at the end of the document and you could refer to the appendix when needed. > Section 4.5.4 > > I am not clear on how the attacker can do that.

If an attacker is able to control the Client or mount a MITM attack between the Client and the AS, then all bets are off. I am looking at this from a developer perspective; what would a developer need to do in this case?
