While there are potentially more tokens involved in a RFC 8693 token
exchange, it's still a single client and it's not evident (to me anyway at
this point) that there's sufficient need to give it distinct DPoP treatment
beyond other token endpoint interaction
<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-oauth-dpop-10.html#name-dpop-access-token-request>s.
Should the need arise more, I'd suggest maybe considering having the new
token type define how the token and associated proof be conveyed together
as the value of the subject/actor_token parameter rather than introducing
new parameters.
