[Openid-specs-ab] .well-known in OIDC Discovery

[Torsten Lodderstedt]

Hi all,

I just took a look on the OIDC discovery spec. Why does it use 
.well-known? I'm asking since it deviates from the RFC in that it allows 
for path components (in order to support multi-tenancy) and the URL 
itself is either discovered via WebFinger or obtained out of band. Why 
not just obtain the connect config base URL that way and directly 
request the metadata. What is the value of adding "/.well-known" to the 
URL?

regards,
Torsten.
