Type: Technical
Reported by: Kavindu Dodanduwa <[email protected]>

Section: 2.1

Original Text
-------------
b64token

Corrected Text
--------------
token68

Notes
-----
Usage of b64token is confusing. Definition is self explanatory but could be 
easily confused with Base64.

RFC7235 defines token68. Following some old RFC draft discussions 
(http://w3-org.9356.n7.nabble.com/p7-rename-b64token-to-token68-to-avoid-misunderstandings-td108256.html)
 I found that b64token was renamed to token68.

I believe it's appropriate to use naming of token68 (instead of b64token) in 
RFC6750. So that it is less confusing as well as refers to an existing standard.
