    • Signed did documents:
      • Private key control = modern equivalent of ftp
      • In did:webs, what is relevant is discovery. Control is bound to the AID.
        • With all three approaches, the domain name is still difficult
    • Scalability
      • Did documents fork and must be merged back, how do you reconcile these differences over 
        • Athlete working with multiple companies, and some created things overlap, images/likeness etc. and then occasionally merge back. The core data can be highly protected (athlete in their underwear)
        • Zero-knowledge proofs.
    • On a web server, paths are secured with signatures tied to the KEL
    • Whois folder about the subject, for discovery of more information.
    • Backwards hash links vs versionId
    • did:webplus considers duplicity detection as optional
    • The feeling is that KERI is more complex than necessary to be secure
      • building UX is very hard if you don't understand the technology
    • Adoption vector of did ecosystem to vLEI/KERI ecosystem is why we need to create this bridge
      • Expand to multiple implementations, multiple credential formats, etc
    • Can we compare and can we combine LedgerDomain/ToIP and possibly combine efforts for did:webplus and did:webs
      • Find the synergies
        • Compatible syntax, one domain name works for multiple methods
