I'm looking at [1]

and I honestly don't follow what would adding JSON structure bring to the table, the text there is quite straight-forward, and the 'sorting' variable is not even there, may be, only if headers are *optionally* included when calculating 'mac'.

Are you indirectly referring to the idea of OAuth2 servers supporting an OAuth1-style tokens which was proposed in the other thread by any chance, as you mention "oath_..." parameters ? In that context, using JWT extension may work, not really sure, but in context of [1] - I don't understand where it would fit in

Thanks, Sergey

As far as the client accessing RS is concerned, should it be limited to
using a header, same as for other OAuth2 tokens ?

Cheers, Sergey
