Re: Possible new use case

Yes, I agree there is something worth adding. We do have some use cases 
that relate to this, so I think that adding this use case will clarify 
on aspect of what is required from our use cases of "Eligibility 
requirements 
<https://www.w3.org/community/eocred-schema/wiki/Use_Cases#Eligibility_requirements>" 
and "Onward transfer value 
<https://www.w3.org/community/eocred-schema/wiki/Use_Cases#Onward_transfer_value>"

The scenarios you mention in your justification are not uncommon in the 
UK either, and even though you relate these to degree programmes (so I 
would see them as entailing a credential as a pre-requisite to a Course 
etc.), however, there are examples of E O Credentials that require other 
credentials (e.g. to practice as a lawyer in Scotland you need a 
license, which in turn requires that you have a Diploma in Professional 
Legal Practice 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploma_in_Professional_Legal_Practice>, 
have completed a traineeship and met subsequent CPD requirements).

I will add this to the use cases if no one objects.
