Clarification on statusListIndex type

[robdefeo]

The spec indicates that statusListIndex is an integer.

vc-bitstring-status-list/index.html

Lines 587 to 592 in 47e1900

	The `statusListIndex` property MUST be an arbitrary size integer
	greater than or equal to 0, expressed as a string in base 10. The value identifies the
	position of the status of the [=verifiable credential=]. Implementations
	SHOULD assign indexes randomly, such that inferences — such as the recency
	of the assignment or the size of the group — cannot be easily drawn from
	that position.

However the examples show it as a string,

vc-bitstring-status-list/index.html

Line 696 in 47e1900

"statusListIndex": "94567",

There is an important difference when it comes to creating the verification data

_:c14n1 <https://www.w3.org/ns/credentials/status#statusListIndex> "94567"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer> .

vs

_:c14n1 <https://www.w3.org/ns/credentials/status#statusListIndex> "94567" .

Acceptance criteria is confirming the correct behaviour and correcting the text or the examples.

The spec specifies that this integer is expressed as a string in base 10. If you feel this should be worded differently feel free to propose an alternate wording here for feedback.

The statusListIndex property MUST be an arbitrary size integer greater than or equal to 0, expressed as a string in base 10.

You are correct, I miss-read/missed that part of the spec. On re-reading the spec is clear.

Thanks @PatStLouis for the graceful explanation.
