I'm fine with this solution as well.  --George

You know, that works as well. From the client's perspective, the token 
isn't good anymore. The client shouldn't care if the token was good in the 
first place if it's revoking it.

I'm not imagining a client doing anything programmatically useful with the 
distinction.

since it's not just *any* parameter, it's the special "token" parameter

determining token validity it doesn't actually throw an error here.

Hm, I see what you're saying, but the error response is already endpoint 
specific. Though there is value in not having conflicting and/or confusing 
responses from different endpoints that use the same error code for 
different things. 

What it really comes down to is: what can the client do with this error? 
Could it do something with invalid_parameter that it couldn't do with 
invalid_token_parameter (among others), or vice versa? As I'm writing this 
out, I'm not convinced that it could, really, so this may be a bike 
shedding argument.
