[Openid-specs-ab] Connect Question: Variable "signed" in the response

Hi.

The current openidconnect.com page has a variable "signed" in the response.
It is a new variable which is not present in the current OAuth draft.
The "signed" includes access_token and user_id among other things. It
probably should be a JWT.

Should we continue to use "signed" or other variable name?

The reason why I am asking this are:

1. It looks a lot like a structured "code" or "access_token". Perhaps should
we call it "access_token" (or "code") instead?
2. If we are to introduce a new variable, "signed" seem to be a little too
generic. Is there a better name for it? (Perhaps "openid"?)
