ah, hm, we seem to have some terminology vagueness here. [platform credential](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#platform-credential) is defined as being a "A public key credential bound to a platform authenticator". per issue #462 it seems that "bound" is being used equivalently to "managed by". I argue that the latter term is more descriptive of the relationship, because, apparently, a given platform authenticator mey manage its credentials as [client-side](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#client-side)-resident [public key credential sources](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#public-key-credential-source), and another platform authenticator may manage its creds as server-side-resident [public key credential sources](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#client-side). I've updated issue #358 to suggest replacing [Client-side-resident Credential Private Key](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#client-side-resident-credential-private-key) with a "Client-side-resident [Credential Public Key Source](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#public-key-credential-source)" term with "resident credential" as the abbreviated form. we ought to define "client-side-resident" and "server-side-resident", see issue #462 -- GitHub Notification of comment by equalsJeffH Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/905#issuecomment-395856738 using your GitHub account
