<h2>Authorization</h2>

<p>
It is arguable that <a>verifiable credentials</a> or
<a>verifiable presentations</a> should be used as authorization mechanisms
that a <a>holder</a> could use to access various
systems. This specification does not contemplate such a usage of verifiable
credentials and MUST NOT be considered an authorization framework on its own.
The Working Group did consider authorization use cases
during the creation of this specification and is pursuing that work as an
architectural layer that is built on top of this specification.
