In section 10.12 (CSRF):

5th paragraph: "A CSRF attack against the against the authorization
server's authorization endpoint"

    One "against the" is redundant.

4th paragraph: "The binding value enables the client to validate the
validity of the request by matching the binding value to the
user-agent's authenticated state."

    The phrase "validate the validity of the request" sounds a bit
awkward in my opinion. I'd personally go with either "establish the
validity of the request" or simply "validate the request".
