meaning of FAPI2 requirements around publishing discovery data #862
Description
What does the 'and' here mean:
shall distribute discovery metadata (such as the authorization endpoint) via the metadata document as specified in [OIDD] and [RFC8414];
Does it mean a server has to publish both?
Currently the conformance tests check:
- if openid connect is enabled, only openid-configuration is checked
- if openid connect is not enabled, only oauth-authorization-server is checked
Given the 'and' I'm not actually sure this is correct and if server's are expected to publish in both locations?
Discussed a bit on today's WG call.

The only way to read the text verbatim is for the server to publish at both locations. (I am not saying that was the intention but the text does say it.) If it were allowed to publish only at one of them, then the text would say "and/or".
