I'm curious how this will play out for BlueSky with some fundamental human readability vs. decentralization tradeoffs such as the ICN naming tradeoff (http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/pubs/networking/ICSI_namingincontentoriented11.pdf http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/pubs/networking/ICSI_naminginco...) and Zooko's triangle. Often folks point to biometric binding for DID's to get around Zooko's triangle, which is problematic from a privacy/trust standpoint.
Other systems such as Mastodon avoid running into these problems because of direct and implicit use of DNS for the namespace. (And use of DNS embedding in DIDs ends up undermining the value of flat naming.)
