We need to refactor fixtures for implementers

[OR13]

We need to clearly show the difference between abstract and concrete representations.

there should be did document data models for both abstract and concrete examples

[OR13]

I am asserting that no PRs will make it in until we have at least one example of an implementer fixture that shows how to do this... and its going to be dangerous to skip over it.

7.3. We need to refactor fixtures for implementers

See github issue did-test-suite#32.

Orie Steele: Same point Markus and others have raised. Essentially, the structure of the test suites is not set in stone or finalized or working.
… This issue is raised at a time of great frustration, but since then we have got many more people contributing to this.
… I don't think we have finished refactoring the test fixtures, as evidenced by Markus's comments, but I think we are on our way.

Brent Zundel: This one is unassigned

Manu Sporny: I will take it
… Critical path... I don't want to put myself in the critical path... I will make an attempt.
… There is an order of operations here. One is we figure out details of testing all this stuff. Once we figure it out, it will be a bit of a mess
… We will need to refactor it. Then we expect the DID method implementers to come in and fill it out.
… Concerned about order of operations...
… If anyone gets to it before I do, please take a shot at it.

Markus Sabadello: Please review my PR about DID Resolution tests.. #43

I have raised PR #52 to address this issue. Specifically, there is now an implementations directory that implementers can look at and submit their own implementations for.

7.7. need clear instructions for implementers

See github issue did-test-suite#33, did-test-suite#32.

Markus Sabadello: also related to refactoring
… implementers of a did method or the spec in another way so they know how exactly they submit their data

Daniel Burnett: pretty straightforward

Markus Sabadello: last two are about sections of the spec which are still missing
… there are not tests yet

This is done once PR #55 is merged.
