Formatting fixes (I think) and a slight tweak to make credentialSubject.id just one example -- and to change the "when" conjunction so we aren't suggesting that some business rule can't consider other properties "during" a status check, but rather, those properties aren't used to check status, or more specifically for the purpose of VC status list linkage. I believe we are trying to say these other properties aren't the relevant "links" to status here, and this is the best language I could quickly come up with.

	the [=Verifiable credential=] and its status in the list. The
	```credentialSubject.id``` is not used when checking status.

4.1. added note clarifying that credentialSubject.id is not used (pr vc-bitstring-status-list#196)

See github pull request vc-bitstring-status-list#196.

Brent Zundel: There is one request for changes from Dave Longley.

Phillip Long: for #136 a note to the effect summarizing the conversation we just had might be helpful, at least to ubamrein.

Kevin Dean: Just to say that Joe is unable to join today, power outage, high winds, etc.

Brent Zundel: Yes, thoughts with Joe with the CA fires.

Kevin Dean: He feels that the PR is simple enough to be worked on without his presence.

Brent Zundel: Looks like Dave's changes are editorial for the most part.

Manu Sporny: +1 to the PR as long as the changes go in, that's it.

Brent Zundel: Any other comments? Our standard practice is to allow the PR author to accept changes so we shouldn't move forward with those things regardless of how editorial they may be.
… If any other folks have comments -- otherwise we can look at the issues next.
… PR #196 is going to address issue #184. I don't believe we need to talk about that one.
