The API you added suggests that the API crosses trust domains: https://w3c-ccg.github.io/vc-http-api/holder.html#operation/storePresentation > Maybe we should leave the cross trust domain vc apis to didcomm and focus > on interop behind that layer...

I was always under the impression that that's where you were going with the presentation APIs. It's now sounding like you never had that intent (further miscommunication?). ... but then you have also said that we can't do what we can do via CHAPI by using purely HTTP... so, now I'm confused. In your opinion, Orie, is presentation exchange over HTTP in scope or out of scope? I had always thought that you were strongly arguing to put it in scope... and my expectation is that I'm not alone in that assumption (as that is largely where Adrian's concerns are coming from). -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
