Not to be that guy but when something approaching half the working group on decentralized identity management appear to be directly and explicitly linked to the Chinese state shouldn't we be asking some fundamental questions about whether working groups are even fit for purpose? Regardless of the technical acumen of the individuals, absolutely no weight whatsoever should be given to the state-sponsored views of state-sponsored actors from overtly authoritarian and illiberal states, and that applies doubly when dealing with a specification inherently linked to user privacy, user tracking and balkanization of the internet by identity provider. What a lunatic state of affairs.
