Sec 4 of the latest CIBA draft from source
<https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/cgi-bin/xml2rfc.cgi?Submit=Submit&format=ascii&mode=html&type=ascii&url=https://bitbucket.org/openid/mobile/raw/585e168fcc5d89bbb0e0908ecf2d7498982aac9f/draft-mobile-client-initiated-backchannel-authentication.xml#registration>
on Polling and Pairwise Identifiers says that "it is MANDATORY for the
Client to authenticate the token endpoint using one of this two mechanisms"
and then cites "Mutual TLS as defined in section 3 Mutual TLS Sender
Constrained Resources Access
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-mtls-07#section-3> of the
[I-D.ietf-oauth-mtls]
<https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/cgi-bin/xml2rfc.cgi?Submit=Submit&format=ascii&mode=html&type=ascii&url=https://bitbucket.org/openid/mobile/raw/585e168fcc5d89bbb0e0908ecf2d7498982aac9f/draft-mobile-client-initiated-backchannel-authentication.xml#I-D.ietf-oauth-mtls>"
as one of the mechanisms. However, section 3 of the OAuth MTLS draft isn't
about client authentication so pointing to it in that context doesn't
really make sense.

Mutual TLS for OAuth Client Authentication is defined in section 2 of that
document <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-mtls-09#section-2>
and more specifically the Self-Signed Certificate Mutual TLS OAuth Client
Authentication Method is defined in sec 2.2
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-mtls-09#section-2.2> and is
probably the more appropriate reference here because it (potentially) makes
use of the client's jwks_uri.

Also just noticed that the "this" should be "these" in that first sentence
quoted.

I-D.ietf-oauth-mtls is at draft -09 now (rather than -07) and hopefully a
real RFC soon (by IETF time anyway).
