Richard:
From the only person in this committee who is not professionally in the identity space, I agree with this:
should we therefore take a broader perspective
In my opinion, in real life, the mDL will be used by the average citizen as an identity document potentially many times a year, and perhaps as true evidence of driving permission by the issuing
body (the state in the USA) the one time a year, or hopefully less often, when they come in contact with a law enforcement officer who wants to know why you are doing 98 MPH in your Datsun 240Z on I90 in New York state (I’ll never forget it, so much fun).
Off the soap box now.

I could be having an epiphany or I could just be rather dumb … but here goes.
The paper you referred us to Tom has all the attributes [general usage] of the mDL but a totally different purpose. Could we / should we therefore take a broader perspective on 18013-5 and rather than focus on the mDL
per se (though it is a good subject for thinking around) think more of a Personal Identification Digital Document (PIDD) or potentially (though privacy risks abound) a PIDD ‘Store’, i.e. the common PII with other meta-data specific to a particular use,
e.g. mDL, Cert of Vaccination … or of any other worthy attribute?
There is nothing about an mDL which is so special, is there? I get the point that as a focus for a specific instantiation it is valuable, but a slant in one’s
perspective opens up the basic tool for many parallel purposes, as the referenced paper suggests.
Does this make any sense?

I suspect that the non-DL applications will eventually be larger than the DL use cases.
Be the change you want to see in the world
