The introspection endpoint uses the same pattern of a token= parameter, but since the whole point of the introspection endpoint is determining token validity it doesn't actually throw an error here.

For what it's worth my thinking was that if we have an 
'invalid_parameter' error, then the description can define which 
parameter is invalid. I don't think we should create a bunch of specific 
error values that are endpoint specific and could overlap which is where 
the whole error return value started.

Thanks,
