Sure, it is deployment specific, but why is that an issue?

In your case, the authz server and all the resource servers are
managed by the same organization, right?

Do clients need to be aware of the actual resource server?

You can probably create a separate spec that defines scope syntax for
this purpose, if really needed. Does it have to be in core?
