[Wimse] Re: Token Exchange and Translation Protocol

[Warren Parad <[e-mail]>]

C, I don't understand what having the ratified RFC would achieve. I believe
I understand the challenges identified by the draft, but I don't know what
having a finished version actually looks like. How does having this
document affect future work? It doesn't look like a standard to me, what
are we standardizing on here?

So my answer is C, because it is not in a state that can be decided whether
or not to be adopted because it doesn't actually propose a solution, that I
can see.

The one thought I have is that maybe it is saying "We need a generic
version of RFC8693", is that accurate?

If that's the case, maybe I would ask, is that actually possible? Is the
goal to create an abstraction and let future RFCs define exactly how to
consume the endpoint and create a new profile utilizing this RFC and the
requirements by each of the before/after specs? Or is it the goal that all
future specifications for token formats could always utilize this document
to exchange tokens with any other format without explicitly specifying how
that works anywhere?
