Hi All,

I'm reviewing RFC 7622 as we are going ahead with implementing it.
I have a question:

1. Token Hint in the introspection request.
The spec mentions 'refresh_token' as one of the possible values. But a 
protected resource does not see a refresh token (ever ?), it is Access 
Token service which does.
When would a protected resource use a 'refresh_token' hint when 
requesting an introspection response ?

Thanks, Sergey
