I haven’t read the document yet, but idnits did some reading for me:

  ** The document seems to lack a Security Considerations section.

  ** The abstract seems to contain references ([RFC7519]), which it
     shouldn't.  Please replace those with straight textual mentions of the
     documents in question.

  ** Obsolete normative reference: RFC 7159 (Obsoleted by RFC 8259)

I’ll get to the content later…
