DID Web FCGS?

Hi,

I noticed that the respec for did-method-web was misconfigured, and
rendering errors.

I merged several open pull requests from 2023, fixed the respec and removed
myself as editor.

I suggest CG Chairs appoint a new editor to replace me, and schedule some
recurring calls to ensure the document progresses to FCGS (eventually).

I hope the DID WG will define standard path and query behavior for DIDs.

I suspect many people will eventually wish for IDNA compatible DID URLs
like:

did:web:نامه‌ای.com/path/supported?query=supported#sub-resource-id
<http://xn--mgb44a.com/path/supported?query=supported#sub-resource-id>

See also:
- https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#idna
- https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr46/
- https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/#did-syntax
- https://bcgov.github.io/trustdidweb/#international-domain-names

For those wanting to support controller documents with international domain
names today (without waiting for the DID WG to finish defining path and
query syntax), I recommend reviewing:

https://www.w3.org/TR/controller-document/

Unlike the DID in the example above, these URLs are understood by browsers
and supported in HTTP clients today:

https://نامه‌ای.com/path/supported?query=supported#sub-resource-id (404)

https://i❤️.ws#page-top <https://xn--i-7iq.ws/#page-top> (works but does
not resolve to a controller document)

Regards,

OS
