Yes. This is why it has to be discussed in the IETF.

To express what is to be returned from token endpoint, perhaps defining a new parameter to the token endpoint, which is a parallel to the response_type to the Authorization Endpoint seems to be a more symmetric way, though I am not sure at all if that is going to be OAuth any more. One straw-man is to define a new parameter called response_type to the token endpoint such as:

It should be something that directly references OpenID Connect Core for all of these terms instead of redefining them. It's doing authentication, which is fundamentally what OpenID Connect does on top of OAuth, and I don't see a good argument for doing this work in this working group.
