The assertion flow has been "upgraded" from an edge case to the way new access 
grants are defined. It's part of the extensibility model, and as such, is going 
to stay in the core spec.

The assertion flow should stay in core (others have expressed this opinion as 
well).  I've got interop tested code built on that that is about to GA.

As far as the client assertions, I do believe there's real value in having a 
clean extension point for stronger forms of client authentication.  Yaron's 
proposed language does a pretty good job I think.  But if it can be done in a 
simpler way, let's discuss. I'll probably regret saying this, but what about 
not using the word "assertion" for stronger client auth options?  That might 
help eliminate some confusion.
