I realized that I dislike the OAuth Client ID Metadata document that's supposed to supersede the Dynamic OAuth Client Registration mechanism:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-client-id-metadata-document/

The first complain is that it seems to address only online clients - ie, to be able to determine an attempt at OAuth authorization has a valid client, its ID needs to be a document that's addressable on the web and returns valid metadata.

So offline clients are left to invent some static web metadata storage for themselves, which frankly is not feasible.

OAuth Client ID Metadata Document

This specification defines a mechanism through which an OAuth client can identify itself to authorization servers, without prior dynamic client registration or other existing registration. This is through the usage of a URL as a client_id in an OAuth flow, where the URL refers to a document containing the necessary client metadata, enabling the authorization server to fetch the metadata about the client as needed.
