You have this deployed now, right?  How is this working in your deployment?

So you’re suggesting that we use the id_token_hint parameter and pass the ID Token to the end_session_endpoint?  What do others think of that?

I think we should use the same approach as in the immediate flow,
i.e., provide a hint about the intended user. In fact I had suggested
the entire id_token be supplied to the OP.
