TAG Review: What do the end-users experience with DID resolution #188

w3c/did-resolution#188

manu: I think I can put some language for this

ivan: I wonder if these questions are really applicable to us?

manu: we do need to have a response to them unfortunately

<swcurran> I have to leave the meeting early. I have 192 and have been on vacation, but will get to it this weekend. I asked a question on the issue about whether this "cycle" issue is for a DID Resolver (who only resolves a DID to a DIDDoc or resource), or for clients of resolvers that would get back a DIDoc and request resolution of DIDs within the DIDDoc.

<swcurran> A cycle only occurs for a Client of a Resolver, not a Resoliver per se. Happy to get an answer on this here, or will pursue with experts after.
