Two little nits about endpoint naming:

Section 2
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-device-flow-04#section-2>
defines "device endpoint", which is used in the document everywhere except
the new metadata sections (section 4
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-device-flow-04#section-4> and
7.3.1
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-device-flow-04#section-7.3.1>)
that use the term "device authorization endpoint.", Not a big deal but
potentially a little confusing.

The example in section 3.1
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-device-flow-04#section-3.1>
is supposed to be showing a POST to the device endpoint but the Request-URI
in the Request-Line is "/token", which *could* be the device endpoint but
is probably just a copy/paste error and source of unneeded confusion.
