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

1) Since I'm rather new in this group, what would be the best way to
continue this discussion? In this email thread? By trying to produce a
requirements doc on the wiki?
Most probably, I will be working on an implementation of this feature in
the near future.

2) Picking up on Justin's reply: an approach would be to also use the "aud"
and the "sub" to identify the session to cleanup. I don't like the idea of
requiring a round-trip to the introspection endpoint in order to check the
token purpose. Makes sense?

Thanks
Pedro
