 This specification seeks to find a balance between scalability, security, and privacy by minimizing the status information to mere bits (often a single bit) and compressing the resulting binary data. Thereby, a Status List may contain statuses of many thousands or millions Referenced Tokens while remaining as small as possible. Placing large amounts of Referenced Tokens into the same list also enables herd privacy relative to the Issuer.
 
-There will likely be different mechanisms to convey token/credential status information in the foreseeable future depending on specific use-cases and their requirements. The way this information is transported in the token is defined with possible re-use or extension in mind.

+By including a "status" claim in a JWT, the issuer of the JWT declares that the credential is referencing a mechanism to retrieve status information about this credential. The claim contains members used to reference to a status list as defined in this specification. Other members of the "status" object may be defined because status list means to check the status of a credential. This is analogous to "cnf" claim in Section 3.1 of {{RFC7800}} in which different authenticity confirmation methods can be included.
