Hi,
I am wondering since did:key supports multibase, why the draft enforces base58btc. We are using Ed25519 keys, but we prefer base64url, so it will be nice if we could have something like:

did:key:uXX6varD0RjXZfW58v4DGtd7kltX6Kzn9fghX94LvrMDxo

(XX should be replaced with the multicodec part)

I believe base64url encoding is legal, but nobody is using it or bothered to provide test vectors for it.

other encodings are supported, but a PR to the spec might make this clearer.
