Hi Carsten,

We have certainly envisioned this use case early on in the group and it is good 
that the actors draft covers it. Samuel, Erik and I had used this scenario at 
ARM TechCon a few years ago as a showcase using a door lock to illustrate what 
ACE-OAuth does. It is just that the current ACE-OAuth draft version doesn't 
support it well IMHO.

Even though that interface is not limited we would still have to use some of 
the newly defined parameters (and features (e.g., CWT).

I might not have used the terminology appropriately but what I was trying to 
accomplish  is to use RFC 8252 on the phone/tablet and to request a CWT 
(instead of a JWT). RFC 8252 uses a mixture of technologies, including a 
JSON-based encoding for the Access Token Response.  The Access Token Request, 
on the other hand, would be form encoded. Maybe I should include an example in 
the appendix to make it clearer.

Ciao
