Agreed on the meaning change, but even adding a hyphen into application-independent (which IMO is necessary to be consistent and grammatically correct) you've created a brain twister with six sub-parts (three compounds x 2) modifying 'standard'. I find it hard to read and understand, even the second or third time. How about recasting to give some space between the ideas, maybe: There is currently no application-independent standard for expressing and transacting self-sovereign and privacy-enhancing verifiable claims (aka: credentials, attestations) via the Web. Or: There is currently no self-sovereign and privacy-enhancing standard for expressing and transacting application-independent verifiable claims (aka: credentials, attestations) via the Web. Steven
