I don't want to sound polemic, but if you take a CWT and you peel off
its security layer (i.e., you "unprotect" the CWT) what you are left
with is the CWT claims set :-)

I don't think I have suggested piling up stuff - IIRC I even used
"minimalist" upthread - but something needs to be said to clarify what
are the assumptions that need to hold for this to be usable.

(I will review the draft and provide some more useful/actionable comments.)
