equalsJeffH has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == rename "webauthn" feature policy token to "publickeycred" ? == Presently, we [allocate the feature policy token "webauthn"](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#sctn-feature-policy) to identity this "feature": > This specification defines a policy-controlled feature identified by the feature policy token "webauthn" ... _however_, the Credentials Management spec (aka credman), to which the WebAuthn spec "plugs in" denotes its sub-features in terms of the _sort of credentials_ they are, i.e.: password creds, federated creds, and public key creds (webauthn). So, arguably, when alloc'g feature policy token strings for credman's various creds, if we wish to be consistent, we ought to alloc something akin to these strings: * passwordcred * federatedcred * publickeycred ..which'd mean changing the present "webauthn" feature policy token string to "publickeycred" note: I'm thinking that there might be some other feature that might deal with (at least) public keys in some fashion (who knows?) and thus am thinking that appending the "cred" (or "creds" or "credentials") suffix to the string would be appropos... cc: @clelland Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1277 using your GitHub account
