Re: [OAUTH-WG] New Version Notification for draft-hunt-oauth-v2-user-a4c-00.txt

Right. Anyone who agreed to IPR could have proposed the text in the work
group.

Re: Messages and Standard

Messages were supposed to be the collection of terminology and parameters
sets.
Standard was meant to be HTTP binding, which would effectively make it
OAuth 2.0 + authentication + identity.
As such, normative portion of the standard was to be made of the HTTP
protocol element, reference to the parameters sets in Messages, and the
documentation on how to serialize. It should be very concise. Non-normative
portions were supposed to have examples. In some sections, it is like that,
but in sections like 2.2.1.1, it is currently repeating much of what the
Messages have.
This, to me, is suboptimal but many people wanted to be this way so that
they do not have to refer to the Messages.

Maybe, for the final, we might reconsider it.
