Description

We currently have this text in VCI:

status: OPTIONAL. Status mechanism for the Wallet Attestation as defined in [I-D.ietf-oauth-status-list]

I would propose to slightly adjust this to

status: OPTIONAL. Status mechanism for the Wallet (client), using the status mechanism as defined in [I-D.ietf-oauth-status-list]

We don't really care about the validity of the token itself, but about the statement (in the scope of that wallet instance to issuer relationship) that it is a valid client/wallet instance we are interacting with. We shouldn't really care about the lifetime of the token itself - this wording attempts to make that a bit clearer.

Research direction

Start in the VCI specification text containing the status field and compare the current wording with the proposed wording in this issue. Update the description to clarify that the mechanism concerns the Wallet client while retaining the status-list reference; done means the revised text appears accurately in the specification.
