That isn't what it does. A scoped decoder's job is to capture both parts
properly so that filtering by scope works. The serialized form is exactly
that.

And you would NOT want to drop the scope. That won't be unique and that's
a very bad idea. What is your use case? If it's not a federated
application (so uniqueness isn't an issue), you could just use a
different/custom attribute as an identifier.
