The Verifiable Credentials Working Group is requesting a review of Controller Documents by the end of summer 2024 (ideally, sooner). Controller Documents are a generalization of DID Documents and some content from VC Data Integrity. All this to say, horizontal review has occurred for most of this content before when it was in DID Core, and then again when it was in Verifiable Credential Data Integrity. The Working Group recently decided that it would rather have this content in a separate specification than embed it in DID Core or VC Data Integrity, and that specification is Controller Documents v1.0.
90%+ of previous content in DID Core and Data Integrity remains the same. Almost every normative statement remains the same (some language needed to be changed since it's being transplanted from VC Data Integrity).
Does your document have an in-line Security Considerations section, ideally one separate from the Privacy Considerations?
Yes, although the Privacy Considerations section is effectively the same as in DID Core and Data Integrity (the parts of those specs that apply).
Please point to the results of your own self-review
Let us know if you would like us to write another explainer for this spec: The spec is basically just "DID Documents, but you can now use other types of URLs in them (like HTTPS-based ones)". The spec exists so we can establish spec text, separate from DID Core and Data Integrity, that we can then normatively reference from other specs in the VCWG that don't have anything to do with DIDs, like generalized public key discovery algorithms.
