Re: Proposed work item: did:key DID Method

Agree with previous comments, that all of these topics (did:key, and proof
purposes) need more documentation -- we're currently working on that.

We've added the list of commonly used proof purposes to
https://w3c-dvcg.github.io/ld-proofs/#proof-purpose (and the next step will
be to expand the discussion of them in the DID spec).
