There are very different endpoints with different extensibility models. Trying 
to put protected resource endpoints in the same bucket as OAuth endpoint is a 
violation of the protocol design.

Do you have actual use cases to support this?

Hearing where? We already have OAuth extensions (not token types and schemes 
but actual extensions to the OAuth endpoints).

The problem with the current registry proposal is that it is not backed by any 
requirements or use cases. After repeated requests, Mike Jones posted some 
examples which I replied to and demonstrated how they are invalid. I didn't see 
any counter arguments.

Like most other disagreements we had, you offer vague and non-technical 
arguments, ignore my extensive attempts at having a technical discussion, 
provide no concrete use cases or requirements, and try to get your point by 
making sweeping declarations about it being 'unusable'.

Based on the requirements I presented to the group with regard to error code 
extensibility (using the UX extension example), I will draft a proposal and 
seek feedback.
