Review text specifying response_type behaviors for clarity

Issue #714 resolved
Michael Jones created an issue

See the thread started by Brian Campbell on "Messages -15 RC: what to do malformed or ambiguous requests?". We probably need to be more explicit about what the intended behaviors are when some response_type values are used, including "code" and "token".

This probably affects Messages, Standard, Basic, and Implicit.

    We need to be clearer what the meaning of the "openid token" response_type is. One option is that this gives you an access_token to the UserInfo endpoint but no ID Token. This would give up all identity properties of the protocol.

    The other option is that we prohibit "token" without "id_token" when the "openid" scope is present. That's what we decided to do.
