clarify what an "appropriate VC/VP" is

[Sakurann]

Section 4.3 Types states that type information is used "to determine whether or not a provided verifiable credential or verifiable presentation is appropriate."

Could you please clarify concrete elements that constitute "appropriate VC/VP" and how they can be verified? I imagine certain claim sets, crypto suites, etc. would make a VC/VP "appropriate" for it to be used in a certain framework, context, ecosystem, etc.?

[David-Chadwick]

I suggest appending to the text to say "to determine whether or not a provided verifiable credential or verifiable presentation is appropriate for the application use case"
