Do we need a section on 'anchoring'? #3

Closed mavarley closed 5 years ago

Section 2.1 Furthermore, any direct or indirect anchoring of a peer DID to a specific blockchain is driven by circumstance and changeable at any time.

Do we need to provide guidance on this? (I think so...) and do we need an extension to the core DID spec to allow for DID linking/anchoring? (I'm not familiar enough with that spec...) For example, did:peer:1:347h3fnun9f2uh... has an entry in the attached DID Doc "did_links": [ "did:sov:..." ] or the like?

Happy to discuss further as to why this would even be necessary.

Here is an example of why anchoring to a blockchain could be useful: https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-hipe/blob/5885fea0b068060df1f4532eb20296edebf7f1aa/text/dkms/dkms-v4.md#95-dead-drops

There is now a Grafting section that covers this topic lightly.
