Description

When a Client Identifier is dereferenced, the resource MUST be serialized as an application/ld+json document unless content negotiation requires a different outcome.

Why does Client configuration data have to be JSON-LD serialized?

OpenID Federation Specification defines Automatic Registration feature that achieves the same goal and the Entity Statement is a signed JWT: https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-federation-1_0.html#section-10.1

Research direction

Review the quoted Client Identifier dereferencing requirement in the Solid OIDC specification and compare it with OpenID Federation 1.0 section 10.1. Determine whether the issue calls for a specification rationale, a change to the serialization requirement, or no change; done means a maintainer decision and a corresponding specification update if warranted.
