Agree with Phil, an additional header is a bad idea. It's not only yet another thing that can be attacked, it's another thing that can get out of sync by the client. Always assume OAuth clients are the dumbest parts of the system.

Right now we are discussing mis-configured clients that have been convinced to use a token or rs endpoint that has been mitm. Adding a new parameter increases attack surface because the rs is now ignoring the token abd believing the header which may have been inserted.

Would a header be a concern if TLS was used for transportation?

    A header might open another attack vector. Better to parse the

        Kawasaki-san,

        This is a really good question: how to know the issuer of a
        bearer token. Is there a header that could be added to
        specify the issuer, or other important metadata?
