Term "key" used instead of "member name"

https://openid.bitbucket.io/connect/openid-4-verifiable-credential-issuance-1_0.html#name-credential-offer-parameters says:

Every grant is represented by a key and an object. The key value is the Grant Type identifier, the object MAY contain parameters either determining the way the Wallet MUST use the particular grant and/or parameters the Wallet MUST send with the respective request(s).

I had to read this section a few times to figure out that “key” was referring to a JSON object member name and not a cryptographic key. And that the “object” was itself the corresponding JSON object member value.

We should use standard JSON terminology to describe the data structure and not use “key”.
