AFAICT adding this would not violate the RFC but it is "NOT RECOMMENDED".
There is also this comment a few lines up from your change which makes it
problematic.

* client_id is not added to the request body in this case. Not only

We clearly want to be able to support Google as an OAuth provider, but it seems
we need to operate in different modes here?

It doesn't seem in line with the specification, which error are they sending
428 for? Do they use 401 for invalid_client?
