I have always been on record as being against having this as a request parameter, and managed to keep it out of connect.
So will be looking to do the same with this.

In a response as a list of that methods were used it is mostly harmless.  People think they need it until they discover that it is not really useful in most circumstances.

The methods listed are really not useful,  but might be OK as general categories of response.

Fido U2F and UAF fall into what I would call Phishing resistant credentials,  is that something a RP should care about or is that reflected in the LoA.

In the MODRNA profile of OpenID Connect I added some other ones to indicate if the key is hardware or software etc.

This is probably a OK place to start from so I am OK with adopting it, but will push for change:)

There is no need to enable that brittleness. If someone really wants this functionality they could put an amr value in the "acr_values" field as a hack.

Each of the other 7 amr values are "specified" in a few lines with a reference (or two). A "First Come First Served" basis is probably sufficient, with the "specification" just the description in the registry (that can include references).
