[Openid-specs-risc] [Id-event] Breaking out the distribution draft

[Phil Hunt (IDM)]

RISC use case is typically bi-directional so events can be used. It also works better because usually a receiver may add only or drop only depending on implicit or explicit federation. 

Adam argued for all other update items to be done OOB.  

That just left error signalling for the receiver to find out why events were not coming. 

We left it that scim can be quickly added for those that want full automated CRUD (oracle does). Buy it would not be required in core.
