The standard allows colons anywhere in the ID as long as it is not the last character.

method-specific-id = *( *idchar ":" ) 1*idchar

The specification has no mention of wat such colon means, nor why this last character is different. Is there any difference between an escaped ("%3A") or a literal (":") value?

The use of url.Parse in did.ParseURL causes wrapped errors, and an unknown [negative] character position/index. Not much of a stretch to include a custom query parser from here.

Did.URL inherits ResolveReference from did.DID. This method does not take the URL attributes into account (obviously).

The specification suggests to treat a DID URI path as a regular URI path, which it technically is not due to the opaque structure.

“When resolving a relative DID URL reference, the algorithm specified in RFC3986 Section 5: Reference Resolution MUST be used. The base URI value is the DID that is associated with the DID subject, see 5.1.1 DID Subject. The scheme is did. The authority is a combination of :, and the path, query, and fragment values are those defined in Path, Query, and Fragment, respectively.”

As such, the base did.URI RawPath should serve as a reference to any relative URI reference not starting with a slash.
