Yes, I expect that we'd merge the did:key and did:nacl documents as their goals are strongly aligned, if my reading of did:nacl is correct. In fact, the biggest difference boils down to this line in the did:nacl README: > The base identifier is a Base64Url encoded Ed25519 public key. did:key is a multibase, multi-codec encoded public key, so it supports more than just Ed25519... it supports ed25519, secp256k1, secp256r1, and even RSA. It is also future-compatible by supporting alternate base-encoding formats, and new key formats that are yet to appear (through the use of multicodec). Happy to have you as a co-editor, Oliver, if you're volunteering. :) -- 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
