If there's anything in Section 8 that is not in 4.1.2 and needs to be, fine, 
move that information into 4.1.2. But TLS is not required globally. It is only 
required for jku. Section 8 says that TLS is required globally. AFAICT, that's 
not a requirement.

It is also needed for "x5u" (X.509 URL), at least in some cases.  It's more 
efficient editorially to have common text about TLS requirements for these 
multiple uses than to duplicate the text into multiple subsections.

On the telechat, we left this one as needing the WG's help here to figure out 
exactly where TLS is needed and making sure the requirements are clear rather 
than a blanket statement.  jku is one spot where it is required and the other 
is when there is privacy related data .  Can the WG figure out the full list 
and then we'll update the draft as such?

We could cite Section 8 from all the places that TLS is used, if you believe 
that that would help implementers pay attention, Pete.

So long as section 8 says, "Where TLS is used, it MUST do X Y Z", and the "MUST 
use TLS; see section 8 for how" is in the section with jky (and x5u if needed), 
that's cool. Just don't say "MUST use TLS" in section 8.

Mike> Sounds good.  Thanks, Pete.
