In https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-spec/#design-goals, it refers to

identifier management, including the registration of globally unique identifiers, public verification keys, service endpoints, and other metadata.

This isn't about identifier management at all. It's about the management of DID Entities.

Reference: Hyperledger Indy/Sovrin Comprehensive Architecture Reference Model (INDY ARM) - latest version - bullets (12) thru (16) in both the diagram, Narration, and principles.

There's no formal concept of a "DID Entity" and commits 776406c 418ab1b 12e0a18 4a24849 around ambiguous "entity" terminology should hopefully clear this up and mean this issue can be closed.

In the proposed changes, I don't see where the specific term "identifier management" was changed or removed. Please leave this issue open.

Also note: #140 (comment)

@mwherman2000 I don't understand. The DID spec defines identifiers and CRUD operations to manage them. So why is this particular design goal (Decentralization) not about identifier management?
