Re: Express Offers/Credentials as JSON-LD in HTML pages

Congrats Manu & Digital Bazaar!  You've earned it!

The only remaining issue (IMO) is how to provide signed credentials.

JOSE-JWS hides the information from search engines which I think will have a negative effect.
Although I'm obviously biased I believe that a "plain" JSON clear text signature scheme would
have the best chance getting traction.
