Agreed. I tried to capture that nuance with "My understanding led to an expectation that the VCWG might register a parameterized form of the base media type,"

There was discussion of parameterization and I captured my take on the sense of the room at https://github.com/w3c/vc-data-model/pull/1014#issuecomment-1430076799

We started out with folks largely anti-parameterization, but after we adopted the base media type, at least a few people seemed more open to parameterizing a single base type instead of creating a plethora of arbitrarily different media type strings, since all of them are different ways to secure a VC.
