What about the following text:

jwks_uri

  .... <previous text in Section 2 of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-dyn-reg-18> .....

"The public key(s) referenced by jwks_uri (or contained in the jwks) can
be used in a variety of use cases. For example, the AS can use the
indicated public key to verify a request to the token endpoint that
utilizes the JWT assertion profile as described in Section 4.2 of
[I-D.ietf-oauth-assertions]. Another use case is for the AS to use the
public key of a client to encrypt a symmetric proof-of-possession key
sent to the client, as described in Section 4.2 of
[I-D.bradley-oauth-pop-key-distribution]."
