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

Congratulations to all involved. Publishing a standard is one thing,
widespread adoption by someone like Google is another.

WRT the clear signatures, I would suggest that we ignore the back-and-forth
between the various people from W3C and IETF groups regarding JOSE vs clear
sigs etc.
If we focus on getting the clear sig spec to a level of maturity close to
JSON-LD (congrats on the recent publication in that regard) adoption of
clear signatures will surely be a natural progression from wide adoption of
JSON-LD.
