It's not, actually.  Our scopes are sometimes URI prefixes, and
sometimes are not.  The reality is complicated, and to be honest is
poorly documented.  We're working on it.

As I've said in a few other e-mail threads, I think it would be a
serious mistake to publish a standard that doesn't reflect things that
are already deployed in the wild and are well-understood.

If people want to see systems that automatically determines scopes and
reuses tokens, I think they should go and build those systems.  Then
come back to the community with explanations of what they did, and why
other people should adopt it.

Cheers,
Brian
