Logging _sigsums_ and not a concreter type like +_certificates_ keep the overall design simple and generally useful. + +✔ Minimalistic design that simplifies log operations and usage
+✔ Centralised log operations but distributed trust assumptions
+✔ Discoverability of claims for the data of your choice
+ +In other words, what you claim about your data is up to you.
