AFAIK, there's an objection from Mozilla / Tantek.  Then again Tantek
objected to Solid being part of the SWWG too.  I get the impression that he
really dislikes Linked Data, but I dont fully understand why

See:

Not been following it closely, but I'm sure DID will get through the w3c
process.  Just politics at play

This group is about reading and writing on the web.  Obviously writing
involves some sort of permissions, which leads to some sort of identity,
but the group itself is not about identity

At this point its quite nebulous, and unclear what your concrete / specific
goal is

Do you actually have some concrete ideas about reading.  You mentioned an
RWW under apache.  That may be a good system, if you want to work on it

I'd encourage you to narrow scope and be specific

I've spoken to some bluesky folks.  They are reviewing different systems
and doing a comparative analysis, before coming up with their own
recommendations.  Seems a sensible approach
