      When trying to submit tags using OAuth access token, the client receives the following error message in case of an expired token.

      <error>
          <text>
           Your credentials could not be verified. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your client doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
          </text>
          <text>
           For usage, please see: https://musicbrainz.org/development/mmd
          </text>
      </error> 

      This message could probably be improved to mention that an expired access token may also be the culprit.
