OpenID4VCI Introduction inaccurately describes identity assertions
Issue #1971
resolved
The introduction says “However, in contrast to the identity assertions, a verifiable credential follows a pre-defined schema (the Credential type) …“ But Identity assertions also follow a pre-defined schema. For instance, the ID Token schema is defined at https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#IDToken. So this is a false comparison.
I suggest replacing this whole sentence with a statement about VCs using the issuer/holder/verifier model, which I believe is the real distinction that the spec is catering to.
