Nothing based on DOIs and OCRIDs will ever be properly decentralised.

You need content addressing and cryptographic signatures for that.

Email is pretty decentralized without those things.

And it is infamously insecure, full of spam, and struggles with attachments beyond 10mB.

So thank you for bringing it up, it showcases well that a distributed system is not automatically a good distributed system, and why you want encryption, cryptographic fingerprints and cryptographic provenance tracking.

And yet, it is a constantly used decentralized system which does not require content addressing, as you mentioned. You should elaborate why we need content addressing for a decentralized system instead of saying "10MiB limit + spam lol email fell off". Contemporary usage of technologies you've mentioned don't seem to do much to reduce spam (see IPFS which has hard content addressing). Please, share more.
