why is this registry called Claim Format Registry? Despite some original pushback, "decentralized identity community" had re-defined a term "Credential" to contain claim-set about the End-User, and terminology sticked. why revert to claims now? this is a source of confusion.

It's the terminology in presentation exchange, which this was broken out of as a registry to facilitate separate versioning from:

This specification is designed to be both Claim format and transport envelope agnostic,as long as the format can be serialized as JSON.

that is unfortunate. can you please add text that claims terminology used in PE maps to credential in other documents.
