IMHO, specification currently provides a clear definition that Credential Issuer is, first and foremost, a Resource Server, and it took some time (drafts) to de-associate Issuer from AS (updated sequence diagrams, removed c_nonce from token endpoint etc).

The fact that a Credential Issuer could also act a an AS (protecting itself) is an implementation detail and as such, perhaps related remark to the implementation consideration section could me add (keeping the current definition as is).


Holder:
: An entity that receives Verifiable Credentials and has control over them to present them to the Verifiers as Presentations.
