> Going from Implicit to Code deals with the problem of sending RT in the URL, which I agree is a plus. Is there anything else in a way of an improvement? 

As far as I can tell, that's the only additional security feature (beyond what we already use for mitigations today) that code flow adds. That's why I was hoping for the proposed BCP to explicitly point this out, which means all the other mitigations and guidance in the document are valid and useful for implicit flow.
