Re: Regarding Changing ownership

Sethi,

Technically I suppose a DID may be assigned to a laptop, but you made me 
go back and read the spec.  "In a decentralized identity system, 
entities (in the sense of discrete identifiable units such as — but not 
limited to — people, organizations, and things) are free to use any 
shared root of trust."  To me it seems weird that a laptop can be a DID 
subject, as it is not free to do anything much less share a root of trust.

I don't believe DIDs are intended to capture ownership information.
