There are several documents already mentioning "invalid_redirect_uri" as an
error code, specifically RFC7519 and OpenID Connect Dynamic Client
Registration 1.0. But these don't register it in the IANA OAuth Extensions
Error Registry, presumably because they're neither for the authorization or
token endpoints.

While I think it'd be great if we had this error code registered, I also
worry that its registration could confuse implementers to think it's okay
to return it from the authorization endpoint.

Best,
