Type: Technical
Reported by: Brian Campbell <[e-mail]>

Section: 3.

Original Text
-------------
   Clients MAY use the "request" parameter as defined in JAR [RFC9101]
   to push a Request Object JWT to the authorization server.  The rules
   for processing, signing, and encryption of the Request Object as
   defined in JAR [RFC9101] apply.  Request parameters required by a
   given client authentication method are included in the "application/
   x-www-form-urlencoded" request directly and are the only parameters
   other than "request" in the form body (e.g., mutual TLS client
   authentication [RFC8705] uses the "client_id" HTTP request parameter,
   while JWT assertion-based client authentication [RFC7523] uses
   "client_assertion" and "client_assertion_type").  All other request
   parameters, i.e., those pertaining to the authorization request
   itself, MUST appear as claims of the JWT representing the
   authorization request.

  claims of the JWT representing the authorization request.

Notes
-----
That first paragraph of Sec 3 was not properly updated to come inline with JAR (now RFC9101) when it changed in draft -21 to require "client_id" in the authorization request in addition to in addition to "request" or "request_uri" - so is  somewhat ambiguous in maybe suggesting that "client_id" isn't required. But it is required based on how PAR works and RFC9101 requiring "client_id".
