What this is trying to convey is that because client authentication at this
Pushed Authorization Request Endpoint happens the same way as at the token
endpoint (and other endpoints called directly by the client) the client_id
parameter will sometimes be present but not necessarily as some types of
client auth use the client_id parameter (none, client_secret_post,
tls_client_auth, self_signed_tls_client_auth) and some don't
(client_secret_basic, client_secret_jwt, private_key_jwt).

Although the draft does later say "The AS MUST validate the request the
same way as at the authorization endpoint" which I think could reasonably
be interpreted as requiring client_id.  e.g.,
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749?#section-4.1.1 &
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749?#section-4.2.1

So perhaps the sentence in question should be removed and have client_id be
a required parameter at the PAR endpoint.
