because of the delegation. With that in mind, looking at the semantics only
of the system VCs in my opinion weren't optimally designed for permission
tokens. This difference between the two requires that an implementation

grapple with the different mental model that arise when trying to stuff
these things together. This introduces additional complexity. Additionally
it leads to weird statements that are being made where it's difficult to
tell if the VC is behaving like a claims token or a permissions token.

Yes, exactly this. Exactly what Kyle states above is the reason why it's so complicated (and thus dangerous) to use VCs as permissions tokens.

Contributors: Manu Sporny, Dave Longley, David Lehn, and Bohdan Andriyiv
Currently, the Web provides a simple yet powerful mechanism for the dissemination of information via links. Unfortunately, there is no generalized mechanism that enables verifying that a fetched resource has been delivered without unexpected manipulation. Would it be possible to create an extensible and multipurpose cryptographic link that provides discoverability, integrity, and scheme agility?
Cryptographic linking solutions today have yet to provide a generalized mechanism for creating tamper-evident links. The Subresource Integrity standard limits this guarantee to script and link resources loaded on Web pages via the use of HTML attributes. IPFS provides a verification mechanism that is constrained to hash-based, content-addressable links, with no ability to complete content negotiation. RFC6920 proposes another mechanism that cannot be applied to existing links: it recommends the use of named information hashes and a resolution method that creates a content addressable URL [1]. Resource Integrity Proofs incorporates ideas from these standards and solutions to provide a new data format for cryptographic links that is fit for the open world.",,https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7-toronto/blob/master/final-documents/resource-integrity-proofs.md,,Paper,,,Main,,,,,,,,2018-12-12,,,,,,,,,,,,, Linked Data,WebofTrustInfo,,,,,,,,rwot6-santabarbera,Recent happenings with Linked Data Capabilities,"Veres One's architecture has been adjusted to take full advantage of Linked Data Capabilities as its primary mechanism for granting authority to perform operations on the ledger as well as on DID Documents. permission to update key materials can be conditionally handed out to an entity (or entities) and later revoked if deemed appropriate using Linked Data Capabilities' design.
As for ledger updates, Accelerators also make use of Linked Data Capabilities. To prevent spamming the ledger, the costs of an update must somehow be accounted for. The traditional way to do this on a blockchain is to use proof of work, and this is also an option in Veres One, but for those use cases where expending time and energy on proof of work is less desirable users can use an ""accelerator"".

This specification defines a CBOR tag for a date text string (as per RFC 3339) for applications needing a textual date representation within the Gregorian calendar without a time. It also defines a CBOR tag for days since the date 1970-01-01 in the Gregorian calendar for applications needing a numeric date representation without a time. This specification is the reference document for IANA registration of the CBOR tags defined.","The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), as specified in RFC 7049, is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation.",https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8943,,rfc,,,CBOR,,,,,,,,2020-11,,,,,,,,,,,,, mDL,Personal,,https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8943,Mike Jones,,,,,,Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) Tags for Date is now RFC 8943,"The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) Tags for Date specification has now been published as RFC 8943.
