Re: [OAUTH-WG] Clarification in Section 2.0 of draft-ietf-oauth-revocation-00

[Paul Madsen <[e-mail]>]

agree that it'd be preferable to refer to the higher level grant

related, the spec stipulates

'The client MUST NOT make any assumptions about the timing and MUST NOT 
use the token again.'

So what does the client do with it's existing access token when it 
revokes the associated refresh token?

The rule indicating to the AS that access tokens be revoked as well is 
only a SHOULD, so the client can't be certain that the access token is 'bad'
