Subject: [Id-event] Please use "identified with" language in subject type descriptions

In the draft-ietf-secevent-subject-identifiers subject identifier type definitions, please use language along the lines of:

Xyz: An xyz identified with the specified value.

For instance:

acct: "An account identified with the specified RFC 7565 account identifier, omitting the "acct:" prefix".

A precedent for this language is in the JWT "aud" (audience) claim definition at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.3, which says:

If the principal processing the claim does not identify itself with a value in the "aud" claim when this claim is present, then the JWT MUST be rejected.

                                                       Thanks,
                                                       -- Mike
