While the goals of both do overlap, I believe it’s important early in this
merger to be as crisp as possible with the language and building blocks.

I find the phrase “Credential Provider” hard to digest as there are two
very distinct phases, issuing credentials and presenting credentials.  The
requirements for each are clearly separate, the trust and communications
from an Issuer to a Holder will vary significantly from those when a Holder
is presenting to a Verifier.

These roles aren’t necessarily a convenient 1:1 mapping either.  While it’s
easy to see overlap between an OP as an Issuer and SP as a Verifier, in a
deployment what we call an OP/SP today may implement any of
Issuer/Holder/Verifier roles.  I propose that we use distinct role names
within the merged spec.
