[Openid-specs-ab] Loose use of the word "identity"

[Nat Sakimura]

Looks like we are using the word "identity" too loosely.
Sometimes, it seems it should be identifier instead of identity.

e.g., Section 8.7 of the Messages writes: "The resource verifies that
incoming tokens include its identity as the audience of the token." It
probably should be identifier.

I am going to do the pass through.

IMHO, it is better to avoid the use of layman's word "identity".
FYI, ISO and ITU-T defines "identity" as the "set of attributes about an
entity".
We should stick to that definition.
