Research direction

No implementation file or test is named. Start by reading the Solid-OIDC and Solid-OIDC Primer specifications and the current solid:oidcIssuer definition; clarify the metadata fields and response requirements. Done means the issuer metadata contract is explicitly decided and documented.

Description

Hi.
I have been reading the Solid-OIDC and Solid-OIDC Primer specifications and I don't find any information regarding the solid:oidcIssuer information that should be publicly available.
I think it would make sense to specify that a request made to the solid:oidcIssuer URI should return information on the identity of the issuer, e.g, the entity responsible for the domain, the entity responsible for hosting, contact information, privacy policy, terms & conditions, what data is necessary to create a WebID (email account,...) and so on.
