the proposal is to have a light weight way for the RP to check if the user is 
still logged in to there IdP.

If the user loges out of there IdP the RP should terminate the session, the 
next time they check for status.

There will also be a redirect flow to the IdP that will present a IdP 
controlled logout screen.

RP won't be able to force logout from the IdP or other RP.

They will have a way to send a user back to the IdP so that they can logout if 
they want to.
