I seriously hope not.
It gives no chance for a client to work with a service without being 
pre-configured with a whole lot of service-specific knowledge -- in addition to 
an app-id/password.

I don't think a realm parameter adds much value to a "WWW-Auth.: OAuth2" 
header, other than complying with RFC2617. The header does need to provide an 
end-user authorization endpoint. Ideally, that one URI would be sufficient for 
the protocol to succeed (though currently you need to separately provide a 
token endpoint as well).
