I don't belive that scopes should be defined more precisely as this opaqueness 
was a design feature, I'm not seeing the reason why scopes need to be defined, 
as these are application specific.

Subject: Re: [OAUTH-WG] OAuth 2.1

Hi all,

as I already said in the meeting: I would very much prefer to have an 
extension/update of RFC 6819 covering all "new" threats, including:
- mix up
- code injection aka copy and paste
- open redirector at AS and client
- potential other threats in the context of "dynamic" OAuth

I also assume mitigations for (at least some of) the threats need to go into an 
update of RFC 6749 as normative text. To give an example: if we agree on using 
the state parameter at the token endpoint to mitigate code injection, this MUST 
be part of the core spec (request description and security consoderations). 
Otherwise, noone will even  consider it.

We should also use the opportunity to improve/enhance the text of the spec. In 
the course of the last years, we have learned a lot about ambiquities of the 
text and how different implementations utilize OAuth. 

I think time is right to define scopes more precisely. As the discussions in 
the last days proved again (at least for me), scope is not sufficiently defined 
to come up with interoperable implementations. Additionally, there seems to be 
a need to represent resource server locations (to not say identities :-)) in 
this context.

To bundle all changes in a version 2.1 would also make communication into the 
market much easier. 

best regards,
Torsten.
