But who's going to trust those vendors? This is the job of the government IMO, one of the few things you just can't rely on the private sector for. I definitely don't want my birth certificate credential tied to, say, Google :D the Government cannot , for example, remove my credentials because I said something polemic, while Google (and infamously Twitter) most definitely can and seem quite happy to do if they can.
