Hi Eran,

If its ok with you, may I offer some friendly suggestion.
Section 3 does not take away anything from your work and
enormous contribution to the Oauth 2.0 main spec.
If anything, Section 3 shows that lots of people are
interested in seeing OAuth 2.0 deployed in other environments
and being integrated into other authentication 
infrastructures (eg. enterprise infra).
I view this as a positive success point and achievement for Oauth 2.0.

And yes, further profiling & specs will be needed for each and every
type of credential mentioned in Section 3 in order to get
interoperability. That's always been my understanding (and
I believe that is also the understanding
of other folks who want Section 3 to stay).

Perhaps it would best to just leave Section 3 where it is,
and to move on to other aspects of the draft.

Thanks.
