Hah, ok :)

Can you give more feedback about what kind of information would help
clarify? Te exact meaning of the username needs to be tied to some identity
system (similiar to the username + password profile), and I wasn't sure how
to expand upon it.

Proposal:
In 2.4.1 & 2.4.2, add the following OPTIONAL parameter
username
  The resource owner's username. The authorization server MUST only send
back refresh tokens or access tokens for the user identified by username.
