I made it in the draft. Adding a identifier for the AS and the client_id to the response allows the client to detect if the request has been misdirected.
I did have another proposal for integrity protecting the the request by having the client and AS calculate a HMAC over parts of the request and the code from the response. That was the least crypto solution I could come up with for integrity protecting the request in a way the client can validate. The problem is that not every client has a secret to sign the request with, so that leaves the AS effectively signing what it received in the request. The other option is for OAuth clients not to talk to multiple AS, and not allow XSRF to trigger login requests. The impression I have from the work group is that they are not comfortable enough understanding the attacks and there implications to work on mitigations yet. I would be happy if someone else has a better idea on how to close these holes that requires minimal extra work by the client and AS. At the moment I am trying to focus on Token binding and other things that people are interested in making progress on.
