Re: [OAUTH-WG] [UNVERIFIED SENDER] RE: Cryptographic hygiene and the limits of jwks_uri

The metadata document is declarative, and can easily be yet another
separate role in the AS.

In large organizations, different people are empowered different roles, so
the team owning the metadata document could be different from the team
generating ID tokens, and different from the team generating JWTs.
