Initial feedback on major sections: DID Resolution Architectures

Open peacekeeper opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

During the 25th July 2024 DID WG call, I mentioned "DID Resolution Architectures" as one of four major topics for this spec. See here:

  • https://w3c.github.io/did-resolution/#architectures

The idea of this section is to explain topics related to how resolvers are deployed and used, e.g. that a "resolver" can be a local or remote component, that DID methods can involve local processing or remote processing communication, that resolvers could potentially proxy or redirect to other resolvers, and that a DID document could be resolved by a remote service, but various DID parameters and the fragment could also be dereferenced locally by a client.

Any feedback is welcome, and I'd be most interested in high-level opinions on whether this is indeed an important topic that should be covered by the spec, and in thoughts on the general direction of this topic.
