IMO, an important objective in all of our stacks ought to be to allow users
(or the software they trust to keep them safe) to reason with confidence
about the security properties of an interaction that depends on DIDs. If we
give optional security properties to a DID method, then it becomes
impossible to reason about the security properties of an interaction just
based on the DID method; you actually need to know the configuration
properties of a specific DID. I believe this is a bad idea. Let security
properties be characteristic of a method, not of an individual DID.
