Dick, you would probably be interested in the Oblivious HTTP effort that has 
recently been chartered to solve similar encapsulation problems in HTTP.

Subject: Re: [OAUTH-WG] [UNVERIFIED SENDER] Call for Adoption - OAuth Proof of 
Possession Tokens with HTTP Message Signature

I have a use case for a self contained request that can be independently 
verified by multiple parties. IE, not just have PoP at HTTP endpoint, but by 
components doing processing further down the line. It also provides 
non-repudiation.

For example, a JWT that is sent as an HTTP payload includes the request and the 
access token.

mTLS, DPoP, and HTTP signing don't provide this functionality

It is not clear if others have similar requirements, or if there is value in 
standardization effort, but I wanted to call out a use case not solved by the 
current efforts.

I'm hoping we can stop at 3: mTLS, DPoP, and Justin's draft. If someone has use 
cases that aren't covered by one or more of those, they should bring those up 
so we can discuss them and decide what changes are warranted. (Either here, or 
in HTTPbis if changes should be made to Message Signatures) My preference 
would've been to stop at 2, but the consensus has not been in favor of 
expanding the scope of use cases served by DPoP.
