Numbering: FAPI Part 2 Section 5.2

The change of section numbering made between ID2 and Final has made it difficult to compare the differences.

One way to mitigate this problem would be to number the sections like below.

Section 5.2.3. (withdrawn; merged into 5.2.4)
Section 5.2.4. Confidential client
Section 5.2.5. (withdrawn) or use the content of ID2’s Section 5.2.5 // The proposed final does not have the content which corresponds to ID2’s Section 5.2.5, but is it necessary to drop the content?
Section 5.2.6. ID Token as detached signature
Section 5.2.7. JARM
Section 5.2.8. ID Token as detached signature // if it’s necessary to create an independent section separately for requirements regarding “ID Token as detached signature” for “client” (not authorization server). Can’t they be merged into one section?
Section 5.2.9. JARM // if it’s necessary to create an independent section separately for requirements regarding “JARM” for “client” (not authorization server). Can’t they be merged into one section?

However, considering the schedule for voting (https://openid.net/2020/11/30/notice-of-vote-for-proposed-final-fapi-1-0-part-1-and-part-2-specifications/), it may be too late to point out the problem now. If the schedule has higher priority, I have no mind to stick to this issue. I just wanted to report the problem which implementers like me would face in future.
