I am unclear on the goal here. It doesn't give us e2e auth, nor does it give
us decentralized routing. What can I actually accomplish with this that I
cannot accomplish without it?
Indeed, it's not about auth nor routing; it's a decentralized DNS-independant
ID for an entity (not a device).
I need that for serverless, but it has several other use cases as explained in
the protoXEP, and we don't have equivalent AFAIK for that (OX would be the
closest, but more complicate and difficult to use in those case).
It's inspired from Peer ID from libP2P, and relatively simple to implement and
use.
I'm also concerned about formatting them as valid
JIDs since this may get
confusing on the live network.
That's why a `.internal` TLD was used for, but as pointed out by other in this
thread, it's not the best choice. Probably `.alt` would be a better fit, as
it's a non-DNS namespace.
Best,
Goffi
