[Openid-specs-ab] Session cleanup via back-channel

On the "structured token" side of things I remember having a discussion 
about this at IIW (a few back) and I thought someone and written 
something up. It was needed in a number of cases that were using the 
token introspection endpoint as a way to identifier the authorization 
server to send the token to for introspection. I can't find my notes on 
the conversation but maybe someone else remembers?

I think conceptually it was as simple as a non-signed JWT containing iss 
and token fields. Obviously, the rest of JOSE could be applied for 
signed or encrypted tokens.

Thanks,
George
