    The following is currently used:

    • Multiple Response Types: The following definitions define additional terminology used in this specification in addition to those defined in OAuth 2.0 [OAuth.2.0].
    • Discovery: In addition to the terms "XX", "YY", and "ZZ" that are defined by OAuth 2.0 [OAuth2.0], and the terminology defined in the OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 [OpenID.Messages] specification, the following terms are defined:
    • Registration: This specification uses the terms "XX", "YY", and "ZZ" that are defined by OAuth 2.0 [OAuth.2.0], and the terminology defined in the OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 [OpenID.Messages] specification.
    • Messages: In addition to the terms "XX", "YY", and "ZZ" that are defined by OAuth 2.0 [OAuth.2.0], this specification defines the following terms:
    • Standard: Followings are the additional terminology defined in this specification in addition to those defined in OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 [OpenID.Messages] and OAuth 2.0 [OAuth.2.0].
    • Session: In addition to the terminology defined in the OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 [OpenID.Messages] specification, the following terms are defined:

    I suggest replacing it with:

    • Standard, Session, Discovery: In addition to the terminology defined by OAuth 2.0 [OAuth.2.0] and OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 [OpenID.Messages], this specification defines the following terms:
    • Messages, Multiple Response Types: In addition to the terminology defined by OAuth 2.0 [OAuth.2.0], this specification defines the following terms:
    • Registration: This specification uses the terminology defined by OAuth 2.0 [OAuth.2.0] and OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 [OpenID.Messages].

    I have opted to explicitly list all the OAuth terms used in all the specs, as it is standard IETF practice to be explicit about terms incluced by reference. That said, I didn't repeat the Messages terms all specs using them, as Messages is closely related to the other OpenID Connec specs and implementers of specs other than Basic can be expected to also read Messages.
