The scope of this draft is unclear. The title states: "OAuth Security 
Topics".**

I have some questions:

  * Does this document intend to cover only the OAuth 2.0 delegation
    protocol (since Justin said that OAuth 2.0 is a delegation protocol)
    or OpenId Connect as well which is not limited to a delegation
    protocol ?
  * Should we discuss OpenID Connect issues and/or solutions in an IETF
    RFC ?

If this document is going to be progressed, the threats should be 
clearly separated whether they relate to a delegation model or to
a client-server access control model. This is not currently the case.

If this document is going to be progressed, the ABC attack (in the 
context of an access control model) should be mentioned even if there exits
no way to counter it given the current implicit assumptions made in 
OAuth 2.0, in particular the use of software only implementations.
