> * The proposed Problem Reporting extension [1], its richness and complexity

I was curious if we could slightly update to the proposed problem
reporting extension.

The signature_invalid section in the Problem Reporting extension[1]
should encourage service providers to include the
signature_base_string they used in the error response.

This information is valuable because the consumer can visually
identify why their signature is invalid by comparing their
signature_base string against the service provider's. If the service
provider does not provide this information, the consumer is often
guessing why their signature is invalid.
