This PR offers an alternative to oauth-wg#40. Compared to PR oauth-wg#40 it makes two changes: 1. I removed the newly added text to avoid creating confusion between the responsibilities of a BFF. While it is technically possible to deploy a BFF as part of an API gateway, I believe this suggestion may create confusion for someone trying to grasp the pattern. An API Gateway is closely linked to an API, while a BFF is (in theory) closely linked to a frontend. 2. Reworded the benefits of the Token Mediating Backend to more accurately represent the advantages/disadvantages of the pattern, as correctly suggested by this PR If this PR is merged, oauth-wg#40 can be closed.
