This is perhaps an unnecessary aside, but would this list also include:
self-issued
reputation issued

credentials?

For the first, I believe it's been discussed in the past in this group 
that there are situations where a person, or entity, would like to 
issue their own credential.

But perhaps the reputation one is more important. I mean both the 
small scale -- two people with Passports identify person X as being 
known -- as well as large-scale: 4,000 reviewers on a music site 
decide to bestow "Best of category" on work Y, and issue it as a 
credential.
