This applies to 4.1.1 and 4.2.1 only. It must be required in 4.1.3 is must 
match the location actually used by the server to deliver the code to 
(regardless of whether the redirection uri was registered or included 
explicitly with the request).

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Question on action item to make RedirectURI optional

The minutes from the special meeting included:

TODO: Eran to add extensibility language for this based on requirements.

-    "RedirectURI" should be optional

TODO: Eran to send mail to the list proposing language changes to either change 
this from REQUIRED to OPTIONAL and add clarifying language, or leave as 
required and add a pre-defined value for "we're not actually using this".
Is this proposed change just limited to section 4.5?  It seems to make sense to 
have redirect_uri  be optional in section 4.1.3 as well (access token request 
using grant_type authorization code).  Since this request is made directly from 
the client to the authorization server, I don't see why this would be required. 
 For at least some implementations of the 3-legged flow, it would make sense to 
not have this be a requirement.

Comments?

                                                                -- Mike
