I understand that the list presented there is more-so early stage proposals; its not like they've been registered to manage that DID method.
That being said; it speaks some amount to the professionalism of the authors and supporters of this spec. The sane people ask: what are the real, tangible use-cases? There's no answer. Ok, well short of that: are there are least real, tangible organizations who will be building on top of this?
Not only is the answer weak, but the meeting notes from the DID-WG indicate a high level aversion to any known, named authority participating in a significant capacity [1]. They were rather concerned about Mastercard's proposed "id" DID method, for privacy/centralization reasons, maybe those are valid but...
> Markus Sabadello: … Even if we don’t apply it, since in the past we haven’t, even then I think this registration should not be accepted as-is, because it’s incomplete..
