Herein lies most of the messiness, a total of four special cases:
- Depending on the response_type value in the Authorization Request 'nonce' 
  is either REQUIRED or OPTIONAL. 
- at_hash is REQUIRED if the ID Token is issued together with an access_token.
- c_hash is REQUIRED if the ID Token is issued together with a code.
- auth_time is REQUIRED if claimed in the OpenID Request Object otherwise
  OPTIONAL.

In fact I think it's wrong to mark at_hash and c_hash as OPTIONAL because they 
are either REQUIRED or not expected to occur.

I guess the possibly OPTIONAL ones from 2.1.1 are of the 
VOLUNTARY type, though that is not stated anywhere.
