Is DID Resolution a layer defined on top of the DID layers?

...or is the DID Resolution specification a "sub-specification" of the DID specification?

I believe it more useful over the next 100 years for DID Resolution to be a layer on top of the DID layers.
For example...

The way I would put it is that the DID Resolution spec has a dependency on the main DID spec. I guess you could also call it a "layer on top". The term "sub-specification" doesn't make much sense to me.

See my answer in the other issue #18 (comment). I think we could indeed describe a bit better how DID Resolution related to DID Core and other specs.

Does "Ready for PR" imply someone is to write something? What is the current status?

Yes exactly, that's the intention of the "Ready for PR" label. Currently @mccown is assigned to this. I imagine that this issue here and #18 could probably be addressed in a single PR.
