<p>
This version of the DID Core specification, version 1.1, is experimental.
DO NOT implement it. If you want to implement DIDs, use the current version 1.0
specification: [[[DID-CORE]]].
The W3C Decentralized Identifier Working Group has published this document as a
W3C Candidate Recommendation and is requesting that software developers and DID
Method specification authors provide experimental implementations designed to
test the implementability of all of the features in this document.
</p>

<p>
Implementers are cautioned that any open
<a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#correction-classes">class 1, 2, or
3</a> issues <a href="https://github.com/w3c/did/issues/">listed in the issue
tracker</a> might result in changes to the specification.
</p>

<p>
To exit the W3C Candidate Recommendation phase, the W3C DID Working Group
requires the following:
</p>

<ol>
<li>
For normative statements that are machine testable, at least two conforming
implementations per feature; that is, when a [=conforming producer=] implements
a feature, at least two [=conforming consumers=] are able to consume the feature
and for every feature that is consumed, there are at least two [=conforming
producers=] that produce the feature.
</li>
<li>
For normative statements that are not machine testable, at least two
demonstrations of implementation per feature.
</li>
<li>
The [[[DID-RESOLUTION]]] specification has met its exit criteria for the
W3C Candidate Recommendation phase.
</li>
</ol>

<p>
A feature is defined as one or more functionally related normative statements in
the specification. For this specification, interoperability is defined as
normative statements, such as those referring to data model properties and their
values, being interpreted in the same way between two different DID Methods.
</p>

<p>
The resolution of a specific DID Method is out of scope for this specification,
and is covered by the [[[?DID-RESOLUTION]]] specification.
