Hi all, 

doing my shepherd writeup of some of the OAuth WG documents I was wondering how 
the extensibility story for these JSON-based documents should look like given a 
statement like this:  "Implementations MUST understand the entire contents of 
the header; otherwise, the JWS MUST be rejected."

Absent a "feature discovery" mechanism I am curious whether any extension is 
actually possible. 

(Funny enough then all individual parameters then say "This header parameter is 
OPTIONAL.") 

Since this type of extensibility feature does not seem to a be a new concept I 
am curious how it has been handled (successfully) in other specifications. 

Ciao
Hannes

PS: I remember that this has been discussed during the meeting but I do not 
know what the outcome of the discussion was. The meeting minutes do not seem to 
be available yet.
