Yes, I can see how that would happen.
So how about for OPs who tie scope to Consumer Keys, their
openid.oauth.scope syntax would look something like this:
openid.oauth.scope=consumer_key:scope1,scope2,scope3
Or, if there is a one-to-one mapping from consumer_key to scope, simply like
this:
openid.oauth.scope=consumer_key
