Standard - 3.2.1 Refreshing Token should not return id_token

Issue #467 resolved
Nat Sakimura created an issue

Typically, token refresh occurs when user is not in presence.

i.e., there is no end-user session associated with it.

Thus, it should not return the id_token.

Proposal:

Remove id_token from the example.

Also,

{{{ Upon successful verification of the Refresh Token, a successful response returns the "application/json" media type and the response body is the Access Token Response of Section 2.2.3 of OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 [OpenID.Messages]. }}}

should be changed to:

{{{ Upon successful verification of the Refresh Token, a successful response returns the "application/json" media type and the response body is the Access Token Response of Section 2.2.3 of OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 [OpenID.Messages] except that it SHOULD NOT return id_token. }}}

    I disagree.

    We discussed this particular issue several times.

    The id_token should be returned with the access_token if we want to enable some delegated use cases.
