   Oh, joy: it turns out that Go's net/url package doesn't understand that DID URLs can have paths.
   
   Parsing "https://example.social/path/to/object" gives me a useful result:
   
   &url.URL{
       Scheme:"https",
       Opaque:"",
       Host:"example.social",
       Path:"/path/to/object",
       [...]
   }But parsing "did:ap: key:z6abcdef/path/to/object" gives me this:
   
   &url.URL{
       Scheme:"did",
       Opaque:"ap🔑z6abcdef/path/to/object",
       Host:"",
       Path:"",
       [...]
   }So I need some kind of wrapper to detect DID URLs and parse the paths out of them. That's easy enough, I suppose, but then I need to actually use that wrapper, in all the relevant places...

     @fentiger Rust url library says that ap🔑z6abcdef/path/to/object is a path. I guess DID URLs haven't seen much use before and we just need to file bug reports.

     @greyarea @fentiger Yes, you're right. I found the issue where this behavior was discussed:

     https://github.com/w3c/did-core/issues/556

     >the design of DID URL syntax was patterned after URN syntax
     >Parsing of the rootless path into the segment-nz component and the *( "/" segment) component must be done "manually" by the parser as with URNs.

     @silverpill @fentiger

     The Rust URL library is correct, according to spec (none of the updates change the behavior here).
