This is the first Oauth document I've seen with a no-nonsense "Terminology" section. Thank you!

The only thing I'd suggest is putting the terminology first, so readers can first correct their misconceptions from all the terrible literature around this.



I thought about it, and settled on the compromise of referring to it up front, and then putting it at the end.

That's because there are many ways you could use a document like that. And the Terminology section is very overwhelming unless your goal is to understand how OAuth 2 REALLY works, and why it works that way.
