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.

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
