When Figure 47 says "Evaluate the Trust Chain", I think it's referring to the process described in https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1_0.html#section-10.2 which is called "Validating a Trust Chain". If so, it would be good to use the same wording ("Validate" rather than "Evaluate") in the Figure.

There are 10 places that the word "evaluate" (including "reevaluate") occurs in the specification, including another occurrence in the same figure. I'm not necessarily opposed to the proposed change, but if we're going to do it for this one occurrence, we should consider what wording we want to use in the other occurrences as well, so that we're being consistent overall.

Agree -- evaluate, resolve, and validate would all be good to define or narrow down if there's redundancy

@rohe and I looked at this today. We agree with changing "evalute" in the context of Trust Chains to "validate". We do not want to change all the other uses of "evaluate".
