Why W3C AC review is important: if anyone outside the Verifiable Credential WG had read w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/ before it went to REC they might have noticed that it doesn't define what its IDs or proofs mean.

AC review generally isn't the stage where specs get read carefully. The W3C process could use a better mechanism for detailed review, like WHATWG code review or maybe IETF AD review. It's easy for things to get to REC because everybody is happy with the general idea.

The TAG probably doesn't have the bandwidth, but it would be good to have a step (around CR) that requires one person who didn't write or edit the spec to read and review it thoroughly.

We need to find a way to make this process transparent but not painful.
