Sure, you can do that, if you've got an ID Token or similar. You could 
alternatively define another endpoint to get user info back. Not every API is 
going to have an ID Token defined (or even end users), so this isn't exactly a 
general construct. But if it works for your API, go ahead and pass it along 
with the rest of the information.

It's important to make a distinction between ID Tokens that are gotten in this 
way, which pass information about the user who authorized the access token, and 
ID Tokens that are gotten in the normal OpenID Connect way, which convey 
information about the authentication event and are more closely tied to the end 
user's authentication. In other words, you wouldn't want to accept an access 
token, introspect to get an ID token, and then assume the user is "present" and 
log them in.

Currently the introspection response has an optional parameter to pass the 
client_id to the caller. It would also be useful to pass an ID token back in 
the response - just like in OpenID Connect - to include end user details.

WDYT ?

Great.

I may have something for you based on our implementation. I will get back to 
you individually.

Best,

Expiration of drafts happens automatically after a set amount of time has 
passed without edits. There haven't needed to be any edits to the introspection 
draft in many months (apart from a couple typos), so I haven't updated it.

By no means. If Justin let it go, I will pick it up :-)

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-richer-oauth-introspection-04 expired as of 
11/02/13.  I'm assuming that this spec still has some traction, and that the 
expiration is not an indicator of retraction?
