I agree, at least at the general level and for disconnected tokens.
(Does nextOTP make any sense for disconnected tokens?)

As for testing: you can unit-test client code using faked-up KDC
responses without a real token of the given type.  With only unit tests
there's always a risk that you will verify the wrong thing (i.e. not the
behavior you need to get a new token type working), but I think that
risk is acceptable in this case.
