Okay, sorry, I'm a bit slow but I follow you now.

Indeed this has been deployed in a number of places already. I'd honestly
don't know if anyone is making use of this particular claim but changing
from an object to array of objects would be a breaking change. And a
breaking change is something I'd really like to avoid unless there's a very
compelling reason to do so.  And while your point here is taken, I don't
think it rises to that level of compelling.

I see two options at this point:
1) leave it as is
2) adjust the language around  "may_act" such that it could also identify
an eligible group - this would allow for it to indicate multiple authorized
parties but just not by one by one name, which is maybe more desirable
anyway

What do you think?
