Description

In #authorization-code-pkce-flow-step-3:

The thing we care about here

Note that we only support the code response type.

Paraphrase.

However, implicit flows should not be used for security reasons. Therefore, we don’t recommend enabling them. For the same reason, we do not support the implicit grant type.

It is unclear whether these recommendations are expanding on the spec or suggesting best practices. If the latter, consider moving them to a separate; "Solid OIDC Best Practices and Guidelines".

Research direction

Start with the #authorization-code-pkce-flow-step-3 section and read the quoted text about the code response type and implicit grant type. Clarify whether those passages explain the specification or state best practices; done means the distinction is explicit, with best-practice guidance moved to a separate “Solid OIDC Best Practices and Guidelines” document if appropriate.
