Tobias Looker:

Currently the OpenID credential issuance spec offers a variation of the request that uses only scopes. However these scopes are structured in a way that has a pseudo-namespace style convention e.g `openid_credential:<credential-type>` which requires implementers to match and parse the scope value to extract the underlying credential type which then allows the provider to understand what credential type the client is requesting.

A simplified direction for this syntax would be to just support the credential type as the scope value instead of having the `openid_credential:` prefix. The only possible downside I see here is potential scope collision?
