The newly-trimmed OAuth Discovery document is helpful and moving in the right 
direction. It does, however, still have too many vestiges of its OpenID Connect 
origins. One issue in particular still really bothers me: the use of 
“/.well-known/openid-configuration” in the discovery portion. Is this an OAuth 
discovery document, or an OpenID Connect one? There is absolutely no compelling 
reason to tie the URL to the OIDC discovery mechanism.

I propose that we use “/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server” as the default 
discovery location, and state that the document MAY also be reachable from 
“/.well-known/openid-configuration” if the server also provides OpenID Connect 
on the same domain. Other applications SHOULD use the same parameter names to 
describe OAuth endpoints and functions inside their service-specific discovery 
document.
