OAUTH: ACR (managing LOA and RS)
Acr was added as optional attribute to access_token

- is ACR for the user or for the resource server? (intended to be the user)
   - is this a work around for scopes? (in a way, yes, for native clients and UX for high value resources)
   - error back would have to indicate "re-auth"; currently don't have this in OAuth spec.
   - describe solution as scopes, refresh_tokens and access_tokens  
   - RS trustd user authZ server (this is the OAuth model - RS should not need to do additional user trust)

ACTION:
 - remove acr from access_token
 - provide guidance around managing and using access tokens and refresh_tokens (refresh at lower scopes to avoid user re-authentication).

OIDC:
Verifiable claims becomes a new spec (TBD)
 - to follow up on how to get this spec rolling when needed.
