Verifiable Credentials: Top A11y Use Cases

Dear Manu, Joe:

Back in January we promissed to think about "killer" use cases for
verifiable credentials. We're a bit late getting back to you, but we
have worked on this and come to a consensus on 6 use cases that we
believe would be good for accessibility. One of these we believe is a
poster worthy "killer" use case.


Our top pick would, we believe, qualify as a "killer" use case for the
following reasons:

*	It solves a real need--assuming supporting infrastructure is
*	eventually put in place;

	*	It would simplify a process that is today very
	*	cumbersome and time consuming;

*	It's an easily understood use case. You don't need accessibility
*	expertise to grok its value.

The complete list is on this (APA) Research Questions Task Force (RQTF)
wiki:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/research-questions/wiki/Some_use_cases_for_verifiable_credentials

The first listed use case: "1.2.1 Cross-Border Transfer of Service Dogs
and Comfort Animals" is the killer use case.

Hoping this is helpful,

Janina
