Amazing. Looks like Google, Apple, and Mozilla objected to publishing DID as a global web standard *because it was a bunch of hand-wavy specs*. Even Microsoft expressed serious concerns.
"No practical interoperability."
"The specification should have at least one, interoperable method that works out of the box..."
"Centralized methods allowed, in contradiction to WG & spec goals & name."
