Hi Eran,

you probably didn't notice my posting. What do you think about adding a revocation request to the spec?

regards,
Torsten.

Hi Eran,



in my perception, there is some support on the list for having a request

to revoke refresh tokens. Will you add such a request to the

specification? Do you need a text proposal?



regards,

Torsten.
