Pushed the PR snapshot

This is mostly to serve as placeholder for the PR transition; I am not sure the the document is indeed fully done.

FWIW I ran the document against the pubrules checker and the link checker. The former went o.k. There are three issues raised by the linkchecker:

• https://www.w3.org/TR/2025/PR-vc-json-schema-20250306/is a 404. I guess you will have to find a replacement
• There are two fragment references to the VCDM spec which are erroneous (ie, either misspelled or not existing):
  • https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0/#dfn-credential-validation (occurs once)
  • https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0/#securing-verifiable-credentials (occurs twice)

If you find the problems and it is merged, I guess you or I have to rebase the current branch to main and I can regenerate the PR.

B.t.w., here is the way I do the generation:

1. Run the editors' draft (locally or on the Web, as you prefer) but using a query parameter to the URL:

?specStatus=PR&publishDate=2025-03-06

2. On the upper right-hand corner of the page there is respec button, offering various ways to download the content. Choose HTML, you get an HTML on your machine, that is the generated version.
3. The rest is github magic...

Will take the issues noted above and fix it prior to merging.
