Multiple Status Entries in a Single List

than fetching multiple status lists.

-

-The "space efficiency" argument for this feature is weak. One list with two types -of status entries must, presumably, be twice as long as a list with one type of -status entries, to ensure proper privacy protections. One privacy benefit of -doing so is that bit flips cannot be known to be associated with a particular -status unless one is also in control of the VC that the status is about. -Therefore, mixing "revocation" and "suspension" in a single list that is twice -as large has positive privacy implications.

-The "retrieval efficiency" argument is also weak. Performing two HTTP retrievals -instead of one is probably not significant. Performing upwards of five or six, -on a list that is five or six times larger, might result in fairly meager -savings over modern versions of HTTP that bundle requests over a single channel -(such as HTTP/2 or HTTP/3). The requests themselves would save a handful of -bytes with no significant improvement in retrieval speed.

-The Working Group is looking for feedback from implementers and is considering -striking this feature during the Candidate Recommendation period, since it would -simplify the specification for implementations to not have to support sets of -`statusPurpose` values in the status list credentials (again, a meager savings -in space efficiency at a small cost to retrieval efficiency). -
