I did it guys! I'm not completely inept. :P ...after 5 long years, the DID specification finally links to its use cases document.

Thanks very much for doing this @msporny, much appreciated. However, I'm going to be annoying and push for just a little more and, in doing so, hope to fix a small problem.

I suggest that the 4th paragraph of the introduction to the doc could be extended by a short sentence so that we have "... all without depending on a central authority to guarantee the continued existence of the identifier. These ideas are explored in the DID Use Cases document [[DID-USE-CASES]]."

This a) puts a link in the informative text rather then relying solely on the references section;

We already have a link in the informative text, that's what this PR does:

https://github.com/w3c/did-core/pull/774/files#diff-0eb547304658805aad788d320f10bf1f292797b5e6d745a3bf617584da017051R433-R437

I added your text as well, let me know if that's what you were going for?

b) uses SpecRef's database to insert the reference rather than the hand-edited link in the ReSpec config which, although it points to the correct URL, it uses author data from the CCG original.

Ah, yes, thank you and fixed in b6e0136f46e5fd3409769f94d06fa8cb8b98fd9a.
