[OAUTH-WG] Question on action item to make RedirectURI optional

[Mike Jones <[e-mail]>]

The minutes from the special meeting included:

TODO: Eran to add extensibility language for this based on requirements.

-    "RedirectURI" should be optional

TODO: Eran to send mail to the list proposing language changes to either change this from REQUIRED to OPTIONAL and add clarifying language, or leave as required and add a pre-defined value for "we're not actually using this".
Is this proposed change just limited to section 4.5?  It seems to make sense to have redirect_uri  be optional in section 4.1.3 as well (access token request using grant_type authorization code).  Since this request is made directly from the client to the authorization server, I don't see why this would be required.  For at least some implementations of the 3-legged flow, it would make sense to not have this be a requirement.

Comments?
