Hi Alexey, About your issue 1: The OAuth Core spec, where "scope" is primarily defined, includes the sentence "The [scope] strings are defined by the authorization server" (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-25#section-3.3). I could add that clarification to the Bearer spec as well to make it clear that the scope values are context-dependent, if that would address your concern.
About your issue 2: Investigating the OAuth Errors Registry a bit further (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-25#section-11.4.1) while I'd like to be able to register the OAuth Bearer errors in this registry, what I believe to be a defect in the errors registry text currently prevents this. Specifically, the registry enumerates only three "Error usage location" values: authorization code grant error response, implicit grant error response, and token error response. To be able to use this registry, it would also have to have a fourth usage location: "resource access error response". If you'd like to file an issue against the OAuth Core spec to get this additional usage location added to the registry, then I'd be glad to use it. I believe that this would be significantly preferable to adding a separate OAuth Bearer errors registry that's exactly like the general-purpose one, only separate from it.

Document: draft-ietf-oauth-v2-bearer-18.txt Reviewer: Alexey Melnikov Review Date: 10 April 2012 IETF LC End Date: 7 Feb 2012 IESG Telechat date: 12 April 2012 Summary: Nearly ready to be published as Proposed Standard, with a couple of things that should be addressed or at least discussed. Thank you for addressing most of my other issues. However there are a couple remaining which I think are important. Major Issues: 1). The "scope" attribute is a space-delimited list of scope values indicating the required scope of the access token for accessing the requested resource. In some cases, the "scope" value will be used when requesting a new access token with sufficient scope of access to utilize the protected resource. The "scope" attribute MUST NOT appear more than once. The "scope" value is intended for programmatic use and is not meant to be displayed to end users. I don't think this provide enough information about what this is, how it is to be used and which values are allowed. As this is not meant to be displayed to end users, then you need to say what values are allowed and which entity can allocate them. Is there a registry for these tokens, e.g. an IANA registry? The editor provided explanation in email, however this was not reflected in any version of the draft. 2). Section "3.1. Error Codes" I've suggested to use an IANA registry for this field. Apparently there is already a registry created by <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-23#section-11.4>. However this document doesn't register values defined in section 3.1 with IANA and doesn't point to draft-ietf-oauth-v2-23 for the registry. I find this to be very confusing.
