New issue 1491: Do we want to communicate details of why a back-channel logout failed?

Michael Jones:

We used to distinguish between causes for back-channel logout failures by using 5xx HTTP error codes.  There was consensus not to do so.  PR #169 eliminated the use of 5xx error codes to make these distinctions.

Some have suggested adding “error” and “error\_description” response body parameters to communicate these reasons.  Are people in favor of this or is the spec fine as-is?
