<p>
When a `statusListCredential` URL is dereferenced, server implementations MAY
provide a mechanism to dereference the status list as of a particular point in
time. When an <a>issuer</a> provides such a mechanism, it enables a
<a>verifier</a> to determine changes in status to a precision chosen by the
issuer, such as hourly, daily, or weekly. If such a feature is supported, and if
query parameters are supported by the URL scheme, then the name of the query
parameter MUST be `timestamp` and the value MUST be a valid URL-encoded
[[XMLSCHEMA11-2]] dateTimeStamp string value. The result of dereferencing such a
timestamp-parameterized URL MUST be either a status list credential containing
the status list as it existed at the given point in time, or a
<a href="#STATUS_RETRIEVAL_ERROR">STATUS_RETRIEVAL_ERROR</a>. If the result is
an error, implementations MAY attempt the retrieval again with a different
timestamp value, or without a timestamp value, as long as the <a>verifier</a>'s
validation rules permit such an action.

It is expected that a <a>verifier</a> will ensure that it trusts the issuer
of a <a>verifiable credential</a>, as well as the issuer of the associated
