Phew, this was a massive list of paragraphs! Is there any documentation targeted at "mere mortals", explaining what it does and in particular how it differs from other solutions? Personally, I remain skeptical about ideas like "unlinkability" since they (AFAICT...) put high demands on people that currently have no major issues with the absolute opposite, like "Login with Google". Since the major source of revenue for governments are taxes, this (IMO) set the bar for what is achievable. Taxation obviously requires a pretty extensive registry to function. At this stage. SEDI should be considered a research project.
