Dont @-me, I'm just following verifiable credentials spec, which kindly tells me to figure out how to attach proofs and what to cover with proofs myself, while imposing JSON schema on me.

Honestly, sometimes I'm apalled by JSON world. It's better than XML, but still doesn't address any of its issues. If we only had better editors for binary formats, we would have lived in a much better worlds. Now I really do understand why architects when I was in my early twenties were so eager to use protobufs...
