I'm not saying we should not make URIs valid scopes.  I'm saying that I think it's confusing and unnecessary to state that scopes are URIs.  I'd be much happier if we say "The definition of scope allows URIs to be used if needed." or some such.

Which is not necessarily a bad thing. It allows systems to scale and
interoperate.
