Authentication tokens: XDG_DATA_HOME or XDG_CACHE_HOME?
Hey guys,
Authentication tokens (such as for the gist-vim plugin) need to be stored somewhere in the users directory. I make a great effort to follow XDG directory standards so I'm trying to decide where to have authentication-token type files stored.
What directory would it make the most sense to store an authentication token in?
It's certainly not a configuration file, so is it data or a cached piece of information?

Authentication tokens are volatile data, aren't they? In that case; I'd say it's cached.
