New issue 81: Identify user associated to the access token
https://bitbucket.org/openid/fapi/issues/81/identify-user-associated-to-the-access

Pamela Dingle:

The read-only spec section 6.2.1 says a resource server "shall identify the associated user to the access token;".  But what if the subject isn't a user?  What if this particular request is from a legitimate non-human subject?, such as a client application making a B2B call?  It is perfectly valid for API security regimes to use 2-legged schemes to access financial APIs, is this simply considered out of scope?
