Somebody up above mentioned the land grab smell of the DID spec. So what's different this time? gRPC, protobuf and GraphQL are out there vs. SOAP or CORBA? Some new thing about to rev up? Just plain old loss aversion? Lambda? We need a FrontPage or Macromedia ColdFusion for that... I guess that's it, somebody else from the Roblox generation can pick that up.

The difference this time is that there are quite a number of blockchains who are very non-transparently attempting to become rent seekers. There's a chance for someone to earn $x per ID card or verifiable credential issued; you're essentially becoming a TLD operator only with something 95% of the population of developed countries will use.
