Verifiable Credentials Data Model

Hi,

   I have been starting to look in detail at the VC Data Model for the purpose of 
developing a logic of access control (using the newly released IETF 
“Signing HTTP Messages” RFC [1] ).  

I was developing Access Control use cases for Verifiable Credentials here
https://github.com/co-operating-systems/PhD/blob/main/UseCases/VerifiableCredentials.md
which forced me to look carefully at the Data Model.
So I too to translating the JsonLD to the more explicit N3 format - as it helps see what
claims are being made.

Now Diagram 6 on the VC Model 1.1 looks good, and fits nicely into the recent work on 
RDF surfaces.  But I have not been able to map the example JSON-LD Credentials
to the right types of surfaces. So perhaps there are some things to be fixed in
the JSON-LD context? 

I wrote up an issue explaining that in detail here
https://github.com/w3c/vc-data-model/issues/1248

 At today's conf call I heard talk of VC 2.0. How far off is that?
I can’t tell if this is an easy fix or something for VC2.0.

  Currently there are two surfaces: positive and negative, but we clearly need a “neutral”
surface for statements where we don’t yet want to claim truth or falsity.
