equalsJeffH has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== use "public key credential source" consistently ==
the unqualified more-general term "[credential source](https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-credential-management/#credential-source)" is defined in the [Credential Management](https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-credential-management/) spec and applies to all credential types. Thus we've tried hard (but not quite hard enough) to use the fully-qualified term "[public key credential source](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn/#public-key-credential-source)" in the webauthn spec to use the latter term when that's what we are referring to.

however the opening paragraph of [5.1.4. Use an Existing Credential to Make an Assertion - PublicKeyCredential’s [[Get]](options) Method](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn/#sctn-getAssertion) uses the unqualified "[=credential source(s)=]" term --- all five of those occurrences ought to be changed to "[=public key credential source(s)=]".
