Two things.

1. I think access_token would be a bit confusing in some contexts even though 
thats what it is. However it is likely a foreign access token. "chain" is also 
shorter. 

2. Regarding refresh, any idea on the use case? My impression is that if 
anything lifetime should be shorter than the current access token. All cases i 
have been looking at tend to be closer to single use --> which has led o 
feedback that a single leg solution would be better for same domain cases.
