+1 for keeping names as is.

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Proposed Syntax Changes in Dynamic Registration

Phil Hunt's review of the Dynamic Registration specification has     raised a 
couple of issues that I felt were getting buried by the     larger discussion 
(which I still strongly encourage others to jump     in to). Namely, Phil has 
suggested a couple of syntax changes to the     names of several parameters. 



1) expires_at -> client_secret_expires_at
2) issued_at -> client_id_issued_at
3) token_endpoint_auth_method ->     token_endpoint_client_auth_method


I'd like to get a feeling, especially from developers who     have deployed this 
draft spec, what we ought to do for each of     these:

 A) Keep the parameter names as-is
 B) Adopt the new names as above
 C) Adopt a new name that I will specify

In all cases, clarifying text will be added to the parameter     *definitions* 
so that it's more clear to people reading the spec     what each piece does. 
Speaking as the editor: "A" is the default as     far as I'm concerned, since we 
shouldn't change syntax without very     good reason to do so. That said, if 
it's going to be better for     developers with the new parameter names, I am 
open to fixing them     now.

Naming things is hard.
