[Openid-specs-ab] Is c_hash required in Basic Client Profile?

In Basic the id_token is never returned with a code, it is however returned from the token endpoint with a access token.

The id_token returned from the token endpoint can only have a at_hash.   

It was Google that insisted on the id_tokens coming from the token endpoint contain at_hash.   We should probably get them to flesh out the security reasons for that.
