It's been discussed over the years, and yes, the solution is something along the lines of what you suggest. The following technologies have been explored, but with no firm resolution yet... we're all still very much experimenting with all of this now: * A static image embedded as a data: URL in the VC. This includes SVGs. * A content-protected link to an external image in the VC. This also includes SVGs. * HTML iframe to HTML-rendered credential that is specified in the VC. * Fully encapsulated HTML+CSS embedded in the VC. * Web Component[1] referred to in the VC. All of the solutions have non-trivial privacy, payload size, and security implications. It's certainly a solvable problem... but the ecosystem seems to be focused on getting the foundation right at present and not rushing ahead to address the rendering problem. If you take a look at wallet today, they seem to be plucking values like "image", "title", and "description" and doing generic rendering for the other fields in the VC. Note that this is possible because the semantic meaning of each claim is globally known. It's all a work in progress... yes, people are working on it... but not in any coordination CCG fashion, yet. -- manu [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
