Messages 2.5: State explicitly which standard UserInfo claims can have language tags

Issue #814 resolved
Vladimir Dzhuvinov created an issue

The current spec relies on developers making an assumption about which standard UserInfo claims can have a language tag and which not. It is implied that tags can be applied to the various name and address claims, but how about profile'" and website**? I suggest we state that explicitly, to avoid developers making mismatching assumptions.

    I believe that this set is client_name, tos_uri, policy_uri and potentially client_uri and logo_uri.

    Any claim containing text intended to be displayed to the user or a URI referencing text that may be displayed to the user can have a language tag. Extension claims probably should say whether they use language tags or not.

    Thank you Mike, this general resolution to where langtags should appear and where not seems wise.

    The specs now say: "Human-readable Claim Values and Claim Values that reference human-readable values MAY be represented in multiple languages and scripts." I believe that this resolves this issue.
