"ACDC VCs" is the sort of vagueness that is probably going to get the group into trouble. :) Per the resolution at the Miami F2F, the ACDC proponents can define a mapping, through any process that they see fit, and publish it anywhere on the Internet, that converts an ACDC into an `application/vc+ld+json` media type serialization that can then only be called a "Verifiable Credential" if it conforms to the normative rules in the VCDM. The same goes for JWTs, Gordian Enveloped, and Data Integrity protected content. We really need to clarify the above, because if we don't have alignment on it, we'll continue to see "strange PRs" raised in these specifications (because we're not all on the same page about the above) and, even worse, specifications defined outside of the VCWG that call themselves "VCs", while not conforming to a variety of statements in the VCDM. -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
