Just a quick look

There appears to be two key concepts in DIDs

1. DID Document (mentioned about 200 times)
2. DID Subject (mentioned about 100 times)

From the text it appears that these two are separate things, in that the
DID Document contains the DID Subject (I could be wrong there)

If so it was not clear the syntax used to relate (1) and (2) ... for
example to have an object for the document linking to an object for the
subject ... what is the predicate for that?

Practical upshot.  The "Created" property can apply to different things
including a proof.  So it might be the case that the did: was created at
some time, and the document was created at another different time.

How would you express that, or is it not possible?
