<p>

It is arguable that <a>verifiable credentials</a> or
1988+
<a>verifiable presentations</a> should be used as authorization mechanisms
1989+
that a <a>holder</a> could use to access various
1990+
systems. This specification does not contemplate such a usage of verifiable
1991+
credentials and MUST NOT be considered an authorization framework on its own.
1992+
The Working Group did consider authorization use cases
1993+
during the creation of this specification and is pursuing that work as an
1994+
architectural layer that is built on top of this specification.

<h2>Accessibility Impact</h2>

<p>There are a number of accessibility considerations of which implementors should be aware when processing data described in this specification. As with any implementation of web standards or protocols, ignoring accessibility issues will make this information unusable to a large subset of the population. It is important to follow accessiblity guidelines and standards such as [WCAG21] to ensure that all people, regardless of ability can make use of this data. This is especially important when establishing cryptography and encryption which historically have created problems for assistive technologies.
