Section 4

   A Request Object (Section 2.1) is used to provide authorization
   request parameters for an OAuth 2.0 authorization request.  It MUST
   contains all the OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] authorization request parameters
   including extension parameters.  The parameters are represented as

nit: "all the parameters" kind of sounds like "all that are defined".
But I think the intent here is "any parameter used to process the
request must come from the request object and URL query parameters are
ignored", so maybe "MUST contain all the parameters (including extension
parameters) used to process the OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] authorization
request; parameters from other sources MUST NOT be used", akin to what
we say down in Sections 5 and 6.3.
But we need to be careful about the wording to not exclude the usage of
the "request" and "request_uri" query parameters to find the Request
Object!

   the JWT claims.  Parameter names and string values MUST be included

nit: maybe "the JWT claims of the object"?

   any extension parameters.  This JSON [RFC7159] constitutes the JWT
   Claims Set defined in JWT [RFC7519].  The JWT Claims Set is then
   signed or signed and encrypted.

nit: I think we want "This JSON [RFC7159] object".

(Long quote incoming)

The following is an example of the Claims in a Request Object before
base64url encoding and signing. Note that it includes extension
variables such as "nonce" and "max_age".

     {
      "iss": "s6BhdRkqt3",
      "aud": "https://server.example.com",
      "response_type": "code id_token",
      "client_id": "s6BhdRkqt3",
      "redirect_uri": "https://client.example.org/cb",
      "scope": "openid",
      "state": "af0ifjsldkj",
      "nonce": "n-0S6_WzA2Mj",
      "max_age": 86400
     }

Signing it with the "RS256" algorithm results in this Request Object
value (with line wraps within values for display purposes only):

Decoding the base64 of the body, we see:

{
 "iss": "s6BhdRkqt3",
 "aud": "https://server.example.com",
 "response_type": "code id_token",
 "client_id": "s6BhdRkqt3",
 "redirect_uri": "https://client.example.org/cb",
 "scope": "openid",
 "state": "af0ifjsldkj",
 "nonce": "n-0S6_WzA2Mj",
 "max_age": 86400,
 "claims": 
  {
   "userinfo": 
    {
     "given_name": {"essential": true},
     "nickname": null,
     "email": {"essential": true},
     "email_verified": {"essential": true},
     "picture": null
    },
   "id_token": 
    {
     "gender": null,
     "birthdate": {"essential": true},
     "acr": {"values": ["urn:mace:incommon:iap:silver"]}
    }
  }
}

I'm not sure where the "claims" claim is coming from -- 6749 doesn't
seem to talk about it. (Note that this example is used later on as
well.)
