To quickly clarify this one point: The only interoperable place where a user (DID "owner"/"controller") may express their own desires is in the DID document. This includes specifying any custom preferences about how the DID document itself is updated. If a DID method does not permit a user to express any sort of custom rules for updating a DID document or will not honor them (for example, expressing rules to allow for social key recovery via N specific peers) then it is true that any such rules would always be absent from (or inert in) DID documents that derive from that method. -- Dave Longley CTO Digital Bazaar, Inc. http://digitalbazaar.com
