<div>Hi Chuck, </div><div><br></div>The core is just an abstract spec, akin to abstract class in object oriented programming. <div>It does not define Bindings in it nor it requires Request File etc. <div>One has to define a binding first. Artifact Binding is one such binding, but there is going to be </div>
<div>User-Agent Flow Binding etc. as well. It just has not been written, partly due to we have gone into </div><div>session management discussion before doing another binding. Actually, writing a binding is </div><div>quite simple so we are tackling with harder problems right now. </div>
<div><br></div><div>As to the binding, we are writing User-Agent Flow binding, Artifact Binding, and Web Server Flow binding probably. </div><div>If you have anything else in mind, please suggest it. </div><div><br></div>

</span></font></font><blockquote><font size="2"><font face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">This specification only defines the abstract messsage flow and message formats. The actual use MUST base on one of the companion protocol bindings specifications such as <b>OpenID Connect Artifact Binding 1.0 <#OpenID.AB> </b> [OpenID.AB] .<br>

It strikes me as Artifact Binding should be an optional way to use connect, and that for many applications constructing an addressable Authorization Request file is either difficult or un-necessary. CC provides for direct query param serialization of the request. Why prevent CC from being used directly?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
