Add render property to a core VC data model

[philarcher]

At TPAC 2022, we briefly discussed the need for a presentation layer, or a hook for a presentation layer, so that creds can be presented in a way the issuer wants (branding, layout etc). We may not need to define the presentation layer but we need to consider how they will be presented and may need to include one or more hooks.

Chiming in late, I hope that's OK

Good to see this discussed here. I raised this topic in the SWICG last week:

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swicg/2023May/0142.html

During the Social Web Working Group which started in 2014, there was a deliverable in the charter to deliver :

A document that defines a specification for a client-side API that lets developers embed and format third party information such as social status updates inside Web applications

IMHO, this was never fully realized, partly because tooling was not there back in 2016.

Do you think these two use cases could be merged into a joint effort, or are they too far apart?
