This recognition is much more visible than whatever controversy might or might not surround (or have surrounded) DiD. We are yet to demonstrate that we’re capable of getting to the same place, which reflects on the WebID spec itself. From this perspective, building on DiD is - on paper and leaving aside the respective pros and cons - a safer strategy than building on WebID.

Nothing wrong with that, if it can be achieved without becoming its own

WebID will slot into many things, but effectively articulating such 
perspectives requires a basic spec.
