Harden change-notification guidance #909

@msporny

Description

@msporny

From the SING review:

  1. Change-notification hardening – emphasized the attack surface (spoofing, DoS, linkability) and need for authenticated, rate-limited channels.
  • Notification channels MUST authenticate their sources and integrity-protect messages.
  • Implementers SHOULD bind notifications to DID state deltas (prev-hash → new-hash + timestamp) and apply rate limits.
  • Specs SHOULD explicitly call out that third-party or aggregated channels present the risk of spoofing, DoS, or linkability.
