This fills a hole in the current OAuth specification set that is necessary to achieve interoperability.  Indeed, the Interoperability section of OAuth 2.0 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-1.8> <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-1.8> states:

The OAuth Discovery spec removes the portions of OpenID Connect Discovery that are OpenID specific and adds metadata values for Revocation and Introspection endpoints.  It also maps OpenID concepts, such as OpenID Provider, Relying Party, End-User, and Issuer to their OAuth underpinnings, respectively Authorization Server, Client, Resource Owner, and the newly introduced Configuration Information Location.  Some identifiers with names that appear to be OpenID specific were retained for compatibility purposes; despite the reuse of these identifiers that appear to be OpenID specific, their usage in this specification is actually referring to general OAuth 2.0 features that are not
