As far as not including optional/scope: The way I formulated it, no they aren't included. So? Why should they be: those aren't attributes of the resource itself, but in how it is used. What's wrong with using the existing way of configuring those? But if they need to be included, then include them as URI parameters.
As far as "unusual" artifact or group ids: don't allow them. Nobody can reasonably complain about having to follow the constraints imposed by the URI format. Convention over configuration requires, benefits from, and improves with rigid conventions being enforced. Though it's hard for me to envision what exactly is being given up without an example. Are people using "/" or " " in their Ids? If so, will anyone shed a tear if this is disallowed? Or allow it the way the internet does: %20 for space. And I'd think preventing through convention the problems you describe Nexus is experiencing would be another added benefit here that you would support.
