Hi All,

While going through [1] and [2] I noticed a small contradiction between the
standards.

Section 3 (The WWW-Authenticate Response Header Field) of [1] provides a
example with WWW-Authenticate header description error description
with "The access token expired".

This error description should have been obtained from the response of
introspection request sent to the authorization server. But according the
section 2.2 (Introspection Response) of [2], it is not recommended to
include any additional information about an inactive token, including why
the token is inactive.

So how these scenarios match with each other?

[2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7662

Thanks,
