I would rip out changes in lines 209-250 and put it in another PR -- it's going to make an otherwise non-controversial PR, controversial. That, or we'll have to wait for the discussion around the change to the abstract/intro to settle before pulling this in. If we don't have changes to 209-250, it's a fairly easy editorial change. (Note: I might have missed something on the last call that made this change acceptable by the group w/o discussion).

Mm okay I have reverted these and we can work on the overview section more separately

I think this PR is good to go, @talltree and @peacekeeper can one of you two review this so we can get it into the spec. |

There has been some discussion in the past around using the term "registry" for DIDs (e.g. see here). Traditional "registries" are all centralized and imply a dependent relationship with "registrants". But since it's explicitly called DIR now, I think that's good!

I am good with this PR. |

I'm okay with this too.

Merging per decision in 2019-05-09 DID Spec and DID Resolution Spec meeting. Note: This is being merged primarily so we have a unified term ("Decentralized Identifier Registry") everywhere across the spec. The final term could still be changed via search&replace in a subsequent PR if desired; for example, the term "DID network" has also been proposed. |
Use 'Decentralized Identifier Registry' (a type of Verifiable Data Registry) instead of "target system", "ledger" and "distributed ledger". Some references to "distributed ledger" remain but not in direct reference to DIDs, just in explanatory text.
(DIR was discussed at RWOT8.)
This should address #119, #149 and #150
