I am sorry if this was already discussed in this list..

Looking at [1] it only talks about revoking the access token from the
client.

How about the resource owner..?

There can be cases where resource owner needs to revoke an authorized
access token from a given client. Or revoke an scope..

How are we going to address these requirements..? Thoughts appreciated...
