| In order to get interoperability between clients and servers implementing the protocol, the | ||
| specification focuses on the authentication. After successful authentication, the authorization | ||
| may be implemented in multiple ways - on various levels of the API - depending on what information | ||
| the user can access. |

Should we specify that authorization should not require additional work on the part of an authenticated client?
What I mean is that clients should have a single bearer token to authenticate to the server, instead of separate tokens for each resource they request.

| The API will support HTTP bearer token in the __Authorization:__ http header. |

I would personally keep this out of scope. In some machine-to-machine scenarios, using Mutual TLS (mTLS) may make more sense. Thus I would suggest leaving out this block in favor of just saying that it is up to the implementor.
