RE: [Unbearable] New Non-WG Mailing List: unbearable

It's my understanding that "Unbearable" is part of an effort to create a new working group scoped to work on deliverables based upon these input documents:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-balfanz-https-token-binding
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-popov-token-binding

I don't think that it was ever intended to cover every aspect of proof-of-possession and so there's not actually any conflict with the work we're already doing in OAuth.  (Nor does it seem to me to be productive to add even more documents-in-flight to the OAuth working group at present.)

The OAUTH Working Group is already (and has been for a while!) looking into "holder of key" protocols to improve upon Bearer Tokens.

I would suggest that this work happen there instead of creating a whole new group for it.
