From my original post, not sure how well cut and paste will work on email
-- here's trying :

"The value of this key *MUST* be the URL for the generic DID context:
https://w3id.org/did/v1"

DID method specifications *MAY* define their own JSON-LD contexts. However
it is *NOT RECOMMENDED* to define a new context unless necessary to
properly implement the method. Method-specific contexts *MUST NOT* override
the terms defined in the generic DID context.
