[Openid-specs-ab] Credential revocation

[George Fletcher]

It could be some other signal. In many cases, the way a good user get's 
their account "back" is by going through a password reset flow. In this 
case, the only party capable of doing the "password reset flow" is the 
IdP. The key is to help the "good" user regain access to the services of 
the RP. In this case, the RP needs some assurance that the IdP has 
re-validated the user and is making a "claim" that this is a "good" user.

Thanks,
George
