An initial remark to get this started:

The specific format of request/response is less important than
ensuring wide adoption and interop for what are very simple (but
valuable) attribute types.

Points of agreement in the proposals are more significant than the
points of disagreement:

- OAuth2 protected resource as the interaction pattern with the endpoint
- attribute set (any differences are covered by the language that says
IDPs are not required to provide all attributes)
- how to request specific attributes
- JSON representation

Disagreement:

- Parameter names
- Parameter values in the IIW proposal can be different than string
