RFC 8707 shipped across #71, #74, #76 and #77. The documentation did not follow it, and main has no mention of resource indicators anywhere under docs/content.

That matters more than usual for this feature because it is opt-in and silent. A client that sends no resource gets exactly the token it always got, so nothing surfaces the capability to a reader, and nothing tells them a client may only request resources it was registered for.

The text is e39cb15, written against the feature on docs/rfc8707-resource-indicators. That branch and its siblings were superseded rather than merged, so this section was about to be deleted along with them.

Found while auditing every branch for work missing from main. Nothing else was missing.

RFC 8707 landed in the code with #71, #74, #76 and #77, and the user-facing
documentation never followed it: main has no mention of resource indicators
anywhere under docs/content. The feature is opt-in and silent, so a reader has
no way to discover it exists or to learn that a client can only request
resources it was registered for.

The text is e39cb15 from docs/rfc8707-resource-indicators, which was written
against the feature but only ever reached branches that were superseded rather
than merged. Restoring it here rather than leaving it to be lost with them.
