Protecting the OIDC dynamic client registration endpoint

I certainly wouldn't want to leave my dynamic registration endpoint wide open to the world. I could see wrappering it by IP address range then only allowing clients to register for public directory data back from the IdP which, honestly, I think that's our current configuration, anyway. So, perhaps authentication beyond IP address is unnecessary.

Are others on the list supporting dynamic client registration?

(Which isn't to say this isn't maybe a creative way of leveraging a machine-facing endpoint to implement the manual process. That seems plausible.)

I thought the whole idea of dynamic registration was to sort of pretend to secure OIDC by having the RP software simply acquire a client_secret in real time at first point of need with no additional authentication done. I didn't think it involved a deployer/human typically interacting with it, since that's typically the manual way. I could certainly be mistaken.
