Traditional identification keys (dichotomous keys, multi-access keys, etc.) are centralized, static, and institutionally owned. There's no way for a community of observers to collaboratively build, fork, contest, or version a key. A distributed identification key would let any ATproto user author, extend, or dispute an identification pathway, with the social graph providing trust/weight signals rather than a central authority.
Not a priority for an observ.ing MVP, but I would love to see this feature down the road.
