Shouldn't this be scoped to credentialSubject?

It should either be globally scoped or use "@propagate": true, but, yes, making it a property on a VC only isn't correct.

I believe confidenceMethod could be scoped to any property/ies. I don't understand what it would do for credentialSubject, nor what it does for VerifiableCredential.

Based on the comments above, I don't think it should be scoped... However, if it should be scoped, there should be normative statements that people can read, before the context scoping is applied... and some human readable summary of why, here:

Maybe https://w3id.org/security#confidenceMethod would be a better term definition, if the W3C CCG will define the behavior.

By "scoped to any property/ies" above, I meant that this confidenceMethod should be applicable to any property+value pair (or group of same), something like

_:property
   [ _:value          12345 ; 
     confidenceMethod `{uri to method used to get or usable to test value}` 
   ]

}
}
},

I know I missed the merge. You can probably fix this with a direct commit, rather than going through all the PR hoops...

Thanks for catching this. Fixed in cf429b1

`authorizedPresenter`, `holder`, etc.
