Summary of the requirements....
While I understand that reading the cited material will, no doubt,
answer basic questions, I'll use the fact that you provided a
summary to
justify asking a few, basic questions. Your summary list does not
seem
to answer them, yet I believe the answers to these questions
provide a
basis for evaluating something like the summary list you provided.
That is, I see your summary list is mostly about mechanism,
whereas my
own questions are about motivating factors:
1. What problem does DIX solve and for whom? How is the problem
currently manifest?
2. What does a basic scenario for using DIX look like? That is,
who are
the typical actors and what are their typical interactions, for a
single, "complete" use of DIX?
3. From the summary, I cannot tell what the actual "identity" is,
where
it comes from, and whether or how it is assured uniqueness.
Good questions.
I helped write the spec for a technology called Passel that
attempted to
solve some problems in this space, and the whitepaper may be of
interest
to those on this list:

Peter, will you be at the BOF, and if so, would you present the
Passel work?
