Define the ISO mdoc credential format-specific protocol details #21

Description

@awoie

Split out of #8 so the per-format sections can be worked in parallel.

Per the 2026-07-20 discussion we define the formats (or at least the profiles) in this WG, and we write the text as if it will become a separate document later, so detangling stays cheap. The format itself is ISO-owned, so the work here is how this protocol uses it.

Use the same headings, in the same order, as #22 (SD-JWT VC), so the two sections (SD-JWT VC and ISO mdoc) stay uniform.

  • Value of the credential format identifier
  • Content of the credential type field
  • Meaning of the path element and how it relates to specific fields in the
    credential / response
  • How value matching works
  • How the issuer identifier request applies
  • Format specific extensions (e.g. cryptographic algorithm values)
  • How the cryptographic binding parameter request applies
  • Structure of the response for this format
  • What the transaction data request means for this format
  • How the transaction transcript is included in the response

Structure still to settle, and it applies to both format sections: one appendix per format, or format-specific sub-sections inside each protocol section? An appendix lifts out into a separate document more cleanly, which is what we agreed to keep cheap, so that would be my preference.
