What's a "payment Credential"? Isn't the above the opposite of a Web
Payments 'Offer'? Something like a "Bid" or"WantToBuy"? In any case,
this seems like it belongs in the Web Payments use cases?

Another Web Payments use case, right?

Web Payments use case?

+1, although the details of percentage allocation is really a Web
Payments use case?

How is this one different from the Certificate of Deliver use case you
mentioned in the other email (other than being more specific)?

I don't see what this has to do w/ Credentials, other than establishing
the identity? Seems more like a smart contracts use case, which probably
belongs in the Web Payments group?

Again, Web Payments? Isn't this an 'Offer'?

> DATA RIGHTS / PRIVACY Before i send you these credentials

This is a compound use case and has quite a number of moving parts. Can
you please deconstruct it into individual use cases that can then be
re-composed into the complex one you outlined. Focused use cases that
can be composed usually tend to lead to better technologies and
composability of those technologies than large monolithic use cases. I'm
not saying the data rights / privacy stuff is too complex to tackle,
just that we need to get it at the right level of abstraction in order
to build something simple that is effective at tackling the problem.
