Tim, as background, this came from the OpenID Connect specs, where we tried to 
consistently use the convention that the locator for any resource that can be 
retrieved from the specified location be called a URL, whereas any identifier 
that may not be retrievable is called a URI.  That was done as an aid to 
developer understanding of the specifications.

If the use of "URL" is deprecated by the IETF in favor of always just using 
"URI", I suppose we could change that, but if it's going to change, it should 
be soon.

You are right. I am in the camp recommending the use of URL when it is a 
concrete endpoint and URI when it includes something that is only abstract, but 
since OAuth standardized on "uri", we may as well do so here.

In OAuth, we have redirect_uri not redirect_url; should this be 
registration_access_uri for consistency? -T

For what it's worth, the name "registration_access_url" was chosen to be 
parallel to "registration_access_token".   It's the place you use the access 
token.  And it's where you access an existing registration.  I'm against the 
name "client_metadata_url" because it's not metadata you're accessing - it's a 
registration you're accessing.  For the same reason, I don't think the name 
"client_info_url" gives people the right idea, because it doesn't say anything 
it being the registration that you're accessing.

If you really want us to change this, having read what's above, I could live 
with "client_registration_url", but I don't think a change is actually 
necessary.  (But if we are going to change it, let's do it ASAP, before the 
OpenID Connect Implementer's Drafts are published.)

Thanks Justin.

Even if we go flat rather than doing JSON Structure, the "Client
Registration Access Endpoint" is not a good representative name.

What it represents is the client metadata/info.
It is not representing "Client Registration Access".
What does "Client Registration Access" mean?
Does UPDATing "Cleint Registration Access" make sense?

Something in the line of "Client Metadata Endpoint" and
something like "client_metadata_url" or "client_info_url" is much better.

Everyone, there's a new draft of DynReg up on the tracker. This draft tries to 
codify the discussions so far from this week into something we can all read. 
There are still plenty of open discussion points and items up for debate. 
Please read through this latest draft and see what's changed and help assure 
that it properly captures the conversations. If you have any inputs for the 
marked [[ Editor's Note ]] sections, please send them to the list by next 
Thursday to give me opportunity to get any necessary changes in by the cutoff 
date of Monday the 22nd.

Thanks for all of your hard work everyone, I think this is *really* coming 
along now.
