Re: [OAUTH-WG] Section 7.2

Thanks for writing the text below.  It looks fine to me.  About adding the other error parameters as suggestions, that seems like a reasonable thing to do.  How about the text at the end below, which adds mentions of error_description and error_uri?

7.2.  Error Response

   If a resource access request fails, the resource server SHOULD inform

   the client of the error.  While the specifics of such error responses

   are beyond the scope of this specification, this documents establishes

   a common registry for error values to be shared among OAuth token

   authentication schemes.

   New authentication schemes designed primarily for OAuth token

   authentication SHOULD define a mechanism for providing an

   error status code to the client, in which the error values allowed are

   registered in the error registry established by this specification. Such

   schemes MAY limit the set of valid error codes to a subset of the

   registered values. If the error code is returned using a named parameter,

   the parameter name SHOULD be "error".

   Other schemes capable of being used for OAuth token authentication, but

   not primarily designed for that purpose, MAY bind their error values to the

   registry in the same manner.

   New authentication schemes MAY choose to also specify the use of the

   "error_description" and "error_uri" parameters to return error information

   in a manner parallel to their usage in this specification.

                                                            -- Mike

P.S.  If you already have the text you wrote in a copy of the draft, you should apply these spelling corrections:

               desgined -> designed

               authentiction -> authentication

Mike - if you want to add the other error parameters as suggestions, that would be fine by me.
