Manu, after discussions today and the specification language "This specification registers the application/credential+ld+json MIME Media Type specifically for identifying documents conforming to the Verifiable Credentials format." This seems clear enough to me that this means a document conforming to the VC format. Not sure why there needs to be any language around whether a proof is required as it clearly is not. The string "credential" does evoke questions, but something like "w3c-vc", or "w3c-vc-2.0" would make it clearer to me that this media type dictates a document that conforms to this specification. Whether there needs to be additional media types to specify a restricted data model where a proof MUST be present or MUST be absent, I defer to others, but there should be a media type that describes any document compliant with the data model VC specification. |
Seems we can close this, I will close based on the resolutions we have taken. |
