Description

Most up to date security practices: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-security-topics-25
OAuth 2.1: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1/10/ This contains changes that could be breaking with 2.0 due to differences in the spec and most implementations, but these are clearly listed. Other than that it is a good summary of the best practices.

Done means documenting the gaps and defining any required changes, including potentially breaking differences from OAuth 2.0.
