Re: DID Spec Closure meetings

Building on Manu's point about proposals, I think we'd be most productive
dividing the changes into themes/categories, each of which would be
elaborated on in a proposal. Some I identified:

   - service descriptions
   - serialization formats
   - key descriptions
   - tightening up timestamp semantics

Several of these require advance work: e.g. we need to identify use cases
for service descriptions, we need input about IPID for serialization
formats, ... so I think some advance preparation would make these meetings
(and our communication around them) more effective.

I would gladly lead (or co-lead) the key descriptions part.

Thanks,
Kim
