[OpenID-Specs-eKYC-IDA] nationalities vs citizenships

I only brought up this topic because I am a German (nationality: German)
living in Canada. Here I can apply for a Canadian citizenship. As I have
just learned, the Canadian passport would say: Nationality: Canadian.

With that I would have two nationalities, although only one per passport.

Having that in mind, I think 'nationalities' will work fine in the context
of eKYC.

Thanks,
Sascha
