Changing the access token response format to an array of blobs with token info would help here.
[
   { "access_token":"SlAV32hkKG", "sites":["https://api.example.org"] },
   { "access_token":"Id87d6dsDd", "sites":["http://elsewhere.com"] }
]


[A bit of context for those not following OpenID: one of the scopes Dirk is talking about is an OpenID Relying Party that a user is logging in to; the other is a "normal" protected resource that holds user details and anything else.]
