Great! Would love to learn more about these items if you have a chance
to find out anything and share your findings with the community:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_RealDID
https://w3c-cg.github.io/cndid/CG-DRAFT-iifaa-did-20240725

There seems to have been a lot going on in China wrt. DIDs and VCs but
exactly what is going on is still a bit of a mystery.

Use this link for now:

https://w3c.github.io/did-extensions/methods/

The DID WG recently renamed the directory to: DID Extensions, and
found out that there are some bugs/limitations in the publication
tooling (we can only publish one index.html file per TR location!?),
which has broken /TR/ until we get a fix in (which we just resolved
this week on a workaround).

Yes, that's correct, but the new location is problematic. :(

For now, it's here: https://w3c.github.io/did-extensions/methods/

... and we're actively working on fixing /TR/ space.
