Based on https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/rats/okJriJPpapmZgeOfjbVGVP57bQk/

Attester Identity ('attesterIdentity'): mandatory A statement about a distinguishable Attester made by an Endorser without accompanying evidence about its validity - used as proof of identity.

Previous section says “Attester Identity” is about “a distinguishable Attesting Environment”, and here says it’s about “a distinguishable Attester”.

I think it means that there is no certificate conveyed along with it which proves its validity.

I think this is related to #10 and should be fixed.
