Hello, Ludwig, I agree that the current draft describes specifically for when CBOR is used. When CBOR is not used, I have read it as it will act similar to Section 5.2 of [RFC6749] <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-5.2> as you have indicated also in the ace-oauth-authz document.
Therefore, instead of an indirect reference to RFC6749 by referencing ace-oauth-authz, we used a direct reference to explain what the error response should be. Is this problematic? or confusing? I can reword in mqtt_tls draft something like: "As described in [ace-oauth-authz] the error responses for JSON-based interactions with AS follow RFC6749. When CBOR is used, the interactions MUST implement [ace-oauth-authz]" Would that help?
