I do not understand why the XEP is locked to OMEMO and also we roll our
own identity scheme.
What we can do instead is use a standard that is well documented and
already exists for this Decentralized Identifiers
https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/ this would give us:
- decoupling of the verification of identity from any centralized entity
and any encryption scheme
I understand that it supposedly strives to not depend on servers, but
such a thing is not possible yet in xmpp due to DNS reliance. DIDs on
the other hand can support multiple verification methods.
- our own xmpp method to resolve things to
- a standardized way to represent this and do discovery, not reinvent
our own
- multiple ways of authentication besides just xmpp pubsub things

The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP.
Title: XMPP Decentralized ID (XID)
Abstract:
XMPP Decentralized ID (XID) is a DNS independent XMPP entity
identifier. This specification describes how to generate, use, and
handle them.
URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xid.html
The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this
proposal as an official XEP.
