Looks good. A few review notes:

1.
Can we add a xref to the WebFinger spec (RFC7033) in section 2?

2.
Is the only way to discover the location of the discovery document via
WebFinger?

In Yokohama we also talked about the AS returning the discovery document
host (i.e. issuer) on the auth and token endpoints.  What are the reasons
for choosing WebFinger over that method?

3.
It looks like an IANA registry was not setup for OpenID Connect discovery
params (at least, not in that spec). Is the registry established in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-oauth-discovery-00#section-8.1.2
designed to be a shared registry for OIDC/OAuth discovery? And if so,
should we also register values defined in the OIDC discovery spec, e.g.
"subject_types_supported"
