Sure, what do you mean though when saying
"HOTK payload can be carried in a MAC token." ?

I'm presuming you have in mind the parameters as defined in the draft, and specifically I thought it was the 'mac' attribute which is effectively a HOTK payload, possibly alongside few other Authorization MAC scheme attributes ?

Speaking of MAC, are you referring to
"mac" parameter within MAC Authorization payload representing a HOTK
property ?
