Yes, forward compatibility and extensions will be broken if
unrecognized params are not allowed.

No, this is required for forward compatibility.  Implementations that send
extended parameters like capability advertisements (i.e. CAPTCHA support or
something) shoudl not be broken hitting older implementations.

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Ignoring unrecognized request parameters

In core -23, the last paragraph of section 3.1 now says:

                 The authorization server MUST ignore unrecognized request
parameters.

In -22, this said:

                 The authorization server SHOULD ignore unrecognized request
parameters.

In a security protocol, it seems unreasonable to require that information be
ignored.  As I see it, it SHOULD be legal to return an error if unrecognized
information is received.

Why the change?  And can we please have it changed back to SHOULD in -24?

                                                                 Thanks,
                                                                 -- Mike
