[Openid-specs-ab] ITP and OIDC session issues

Hi all,

We have been having issues with renewing tokens via invisible iFrame in 
our Javascript SDKs in the latest version of Safari - and yesterday's 
news about ITP 2.0 seem to suggest that the new default on Apple devices 
will be equivalent to disabling 3rd party cookies, which AFAIK breaks 
OIDC session management... and/or start displaying dialogs warning the 
user that they are being tracked at every operation.

  * Did anyone else experience similar issues?
  * What are the WG's thoughts about whether this calls for a revision
    of how session works in OIDC?
  * There is one RFC for WebKit that could provide an alternative
    location for the session, detailed here
    <https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3338>. Did anyone consider
    it? Any insights?

If the issue is confirmed, that will make use of OIDC session and 
related token renewal machinery unfeasible on Macs, iPhones and iPads. 
And without official guidance, that will likely spur a cottage industry 
of custom solutions. I hope we can come up with guidance that addresses 
the problem before that happens.

Thanks in advance for your insights

V.
