Section 4 says:

4.  Example Access Token Response

   Typically, a bearer token is returned to the client as part of an
   OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] access token response.  An example of such a
   response is:

     HTTP/1.1 200 OK
     Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

It should say:

Notes:

The IANA registration (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259#section-11) does not support any parameters for the `application/json` media type. The `charset=UTF-8` parameter used in the example is therefore non-compliant and ought to be omitted.
