Hi,

Sorry, I thought for sure I had responded to this. At the moment, there 
are no concrete plans to implement the session management specification 
before it finalizes. There hasn't been demand for it (yet) and there 
aren't many implementations of it to go off of. Even Google, who wrote 
the original spec, has diverged from the current version in their own 
implementation.

Revoking all tokens for a user wouldn't really enable single logout. 
Each RP you're signing in to isn't going to be going through an 
authentication step with every page load, it's more likely going to have 
its own local session with the user. This session will continue whether 
or not the ID Token and Access Token are still valid.
