EOCred: Coverage & renewal of credential

Picking up from the discussion about 'other requirements', Nate Otto 
suggested we align with validFor <http://schema.org/validFor> from the 
Permit <http://schema.org/Permit> type to express the period for which 
an educational occupational credential is valid. This relates to our use 
case that "having found a credential it should be possible to identify 
what is required to renew or maintain the validity of that credential".

We also have a use case to show the coverage of a credential, i.e. the 
geographic area or jurisdiction for which the credential is valid, which 
came up during our discussions on the language of a credential. The 
validIn <http://schema.org/validIn> property from the Permit type would 
cover this.

So the proposal is that we adjust the expected domain of validFor and 
validIn to include Educational Occupational Credentials, and modify the 
definitions to refer to "permits and credentials".

Comments?
