Note that the <spanx style="verb">delegation</spanx> Claim is both
7724+
syntactically and semantically distinct from the existing
7725+
<spanx style="verb">act</spanx> Claim <xref target="IANA.JWT.Claims"/>.
7726+
<spanx style="verb">act</spanx> is a JSON object whereas
7727+
<spanx style="verb">delegation</spanx> is a StringOrURI.
7728+
Semantically, the Delegation JWT defined in <xref target="delegation_jwt"/>
7729+
carries a signature by an issuer cryptographically proving
7730+
the right to delegate to the party.
7731+
The <spanx style="verb">act</spanx> Claim, carrying no signature,
7732+
cannot achieve this.
