Concerns about infrastructure overhead

[ekovac]

The "Consolidation" section kind of addresses this, but I think it's worth noting it more directly.

Content creators/publishers should need minimal infrastructure to perform any type of verification that might be legally required for operation.

If these credentials become widely implemented, it is important that a small, independent brewer or adult content creator (to use two relevant examples to the US context where age requirements for viewing exist) is able to comply with any laws that wind up rely on them without needing to stand up a complex piece of web software to verify viewers' age. Ideally, this functionality should be something simple enough to function as an HTTP server plugin that is agnostic to the underlying content, so a simple plain bundle of HTML files and images with no dynamic content can still comply with relevant laws.
