Even simply 'Token Renewal' would be perfectly fine.  I'm most concerned
about the 'Chain' part.

Perhaps just specifying a method for token chaining, and then citing HAS as a use case makes more sense. I wanted to get some opinions on it before I make those changes. It shouldn't be that big of a change, just taking the HAS specific stuff and putting it in a lower "Use Case" sub-section at the bottom and leaving everything else as a "Signed Token Chaining" section.
