Implications of out-of-band binding #161

What are the implications of out-of-band binding? https://github.com/awoie/rwot11-the-hague/blob/83cbfbaf87901e0f8a03de70e98b4f3be6ea6de5/draft-documents/verfiable-credentials-holder-binding.md?plain=1#L398

Since no more details are yet in, I am assuming that this would provide repudiability to either party, since not the entire chain is auditable by third-parties, i.e., the exchange is somehow stateful and requires additional logic from either the holder or the verifier if such information could be used by third-party auditors.

Since some bindings are replayable and some are not, I think it would be worth highlighting the difference. The difference is similar to that between authenticated encryption and digital signatures.
