Re: Alternative terminology for "consumer"

I lean toward continuing to use "recipient" as the entity that has been
awarded a credential. "Earner" implies that they have done something to
deserve it, which may not be the case; "holder" is ambiguous because as
Matt says, it may make sense to "hold" credentials on behalf of their true
subject.

about whom the claim is asserted.  In many cases the subject is both the
"earner" and the "holder". I loved the example (dave or shane?) used of "I
have my dog's rabies license" in that case, I'm the "holder" and my dog is
the "subject" or "earner" (i think we could argue he earned it) :)
