I apologize for having added two terms, Controller, and Guardian, to 
Role B without checking if others supported.

I would like to check for that support now. I will give my reasoning:

Note: this is simplified reasoning without considering the 'split' of 
Role B which is being discussed elsewhere. I.e, I'm discussing for the 
case where, for example, Role B is a person who has a driver's 
license. Role B represents only that person.

Role B Term Possibility: Controller.

In the spirit of "Self-Sovereign Data", Role B controls their own data.
That's a key element of this whole process.
They don't issue the credential, but they control who sees it.
Therefore they can be called the "Controller" in the whole VC system.

2nd Possibility: Guardian
Same reasoning as above, although perhaps applies less clearly. 
However, in cases where Role B needs to be split -- a credential about 
a dog, a prisoner, or a demented relative, then Guardian might work 
better.

If anyone else supports or objects to these being suggested in the 
list for role B, please indicate.

Thanks

Steven
