The delimiter string between the "naked DID" and the parameters are ":path:" and ":hl:", for the use cases produced thus far. I did not do one for type because we haven't heard of an example where that is required, and if that existed, the processing rules would change to "first search for an identifier, then search by type". So, if that use case is important to folks, and it's not solved via an array of service endpoints (which is simpler), then we still have a solution that works. The other advantage is that we can still reserve the ";" for matrix parameters in the future, if we need them, but at this point, we can solve the use cases without using matrix parameters and thus keep the syntax for DIDs simpler. > 2.

I too would like to avoid the heavy use of complex microsyntaxes. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Veres One Decentralized Identifier Blockchain Launches https://tinyurl.com/veres-one-launches
