Description
Per @martijnharing in #8 (2026-07-20), a credential format definition needs to specify at least:
- Value of the credential format identifier
- Content of the credential type field
- Meaning of the path element and how it relates to specific fields in the credential / response
- How value matching works
- How the issuer identifier request applies
- Format specific extensions (e.g. cryptographic algorithm values)
- How the cryptographic binding parameter request applies
- Structure of the response for this format
- What the transaction data request means for this format
- How the transaction transcript is included in the response
The extension point what credential formats must specify needs to be defined.
