Thanks, Dick. I agree with removing the excess parenthetical, but I intentionally avoided using a lowercase “may” in the middle of the text (in favor of “can”) to avoid normative-sounding non-normative language, so I’d recommend that change be kept:
Implementers should be aware that a token introspection request lets the AS know when the client is accessing the RS, which can also indicate when the user is using the client. If this implication is not acceptable, implementers can use other means to carry access token data, e.g. directly transferring the data needed by the RS within the access token. > On Aug 27, 2020, at 12:15 PM, Dick Hardt <dick.ha...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Here is a crisper revision. > > Implementers should be aware that a token introspection request lets the AS > know when the client > is accessing the RS, which may indicate when the user is using > the client.
