As far as I can tell (which isn't very far on many Friday afternoons), there is 
no way for a client to distinguish an expired access token from a revoked, 
malformed, etc token as the invalid_token error parameter value encompasses 
multiple scenarios.  Of course, a client could parse the error_description, but 
this is an optional parameter with no guaranty of a common value among 
providers.

Given that the client would want to make an explicit decision to request 
another access token using a refresh token (if available), would it not benefit 
clients if a specific error parameter value was defined for this scenario?
