By "self-sovereign", I mean under the user or identity owner's control, not something on the blockchain or similar definition.

What I mean by that is whoever asks for the ID may specify the form of the ID but the ID owner may not agree to that, in which case the transaction is either terminated or another, presumably less restrictive, form of ID is allowed.

For example, if you keep your bowling ball at the bowling alley, you may want them to only identify you by your first name when you go to use it. They may want to see your driver's license, but you can say "Look, you're only keeping my bowling ball and if my first name isn't good enough, then I'll carry it around myself."

Not only should you have that choice everywhere, but you should also have the right to specify how and when your ID is used outside of your presence, and the right to be notified when it is so used.
