Do we need to include iterating over extensions in the DID resolution algorithm?

[wip-abramson]

"Iterate over all services, verification methods, and verification relationships" <- Does this need to also iterate over any extensions in the document?

This is related to step 4 of the DID resolution algorithm that handles expanding relative URLs.

w3c/did-resolution#238

Wip: number 238 - currently there is no clear way to handle did resolution in the spec

markus_sabadello: yes I can take this on

JoeAndrieu: I don't know what they mean - properties defined in extensions registry. Nothing in did document called .. we should add did method specific properties.

manu: can we say iterate over all properties in the DID document

manu: then we don't have to talk about extensions - then just going through everything in DID Document.

JoeAndrieu: where in the spec is that you have to process all these things. Seems weird that did document resolution have to do things.

manu: this is part of the expand URLs algorithm you want to go into every object in the did document and expand the URLs
