Oh, certainly. I didn't mean to imply that the methods would collapse into one... just that you can hint to peer that there is a "sameAs" equivalence there. > That said, the reverse hint idea is neat as a general mechanism - a did:key document could advertise "this key is also resolvable via Nostr relays" without collapsing the two methods into one.
