While it is possible that a wallet could handle both types of request, interoperability would be improved if only one of these methods were selected. 1. Allow the request to contain both optional and required claims and list multiple purposew as advisory and not directly connected to the list of claims required. 2. Allow the request to contain multiple purposes and let the holder make a choice on which purpose to consent. In many cases the purpose should be sufficient to determine the claims provided by the wallet.
