Hi Ivan,

thanks for bringing this up... because I feel misunderstood.

From my own bias the OIDC world is snake_case.

From my own bias we only have the early adopters.

I think it would be important and useful to understand what other
claims are used in this context.  Once we know what is already around
(e.g. by linking into not-so-random code repos), we can hope that:

- there is only one scheme used
- if not: the schemes are easy to translate

If all else fails: we should involve the stakeholders to discuss the
sensible way to move on.

Marcus.
