Reviewer comments:
harmonized phrasing in the terminology section -> roles are finally roles and changed Terminology item format
This sentence: creates a bit of cognitive dissonance. In the Terminology section, the Endorser, Ref-val Provider, RP Owner and Verifier Owner are defined as "entities", however, they don't include any of the roles (Verifier, RP, Attester).
That is a weirdly persistent bug that we have to squash once and for all. Attester, Verifier, Endorser, RVP, RP, RP Owner, and Verifier Owner are all roles. Roles are instantiated by entities, which is the term we now use under the premisethat the well-established and understood term principal is to hard to understand for a reader (sry, got a bit rant'y here). I think I added all the changes that fixes this issue to a PR that was abandoned at the end. It seems we missed to rescue my corresponding changes from that PR, though. Can anybody provide a pointer to these changes? Otherwise we have to dig that up in the next meeting.
