I noticed the following text in draft-ietf-oauth-v2-02 (section 7 Accessing a 
Protected Resource):



“Clients SHOULD NOT make authenticated requests with an access token

   to unfamiliar resource servers, especially when using bearer tokens,

   regardless of the presence of a secure channel.”



A “sites” parameter would allow a client app can tell when it is about to 
access an “unfamiliar resource server”: an “unfamiliar resource server” is a 
server not listed in the “sites” parameter (or not the same server as the 
authorization server if “sites” is absent).

Otherwise this “SHOULD NOT” looks pretty hard to test.
