Re: Instructions for publishing FPWD

Ok, my PR is over at: https://github.com/w3c/vc-render-method/pull/28

The link checkers Manu described above all pass.
The PR github Action flags 3 issues, though, over at
https://github.com/w3c/vc-render-method/actions/runs/18636578827/job/53128557881?pr=28

It sounds like I should contact Calvin, Kyle and Patrick to get their w3
CIDs?
