Contrary to the FUD by some that DID is tied to DNS because of the schemas at the W3C, we haven't done anything in web5 that has any dependency there. The reality is, the mixture of Web5 and Nostr togther provides amazing benefits for both. Beyond solving issues of identity at the client layer, identity at the relay layer, to create DNS-independent node discovery is potential huge advantage to further decentralize Nostr and make it even harder to censor.
DIDs in NOSTR is just another NIP05 format.. no biggie. Can be integrated tomorrow if people wanted it.

At this very moment, @moegrammer is working on it.
Yep. I implemented NIP05 and then took a hard look at the W3C DID spec and realized that all I wanted was the NIP05-like stuff, which took me all of 10 minutes to implement.
