I'm sick of PDFs – so I built a logic-less, AI-native replacement using Declarative Shadow DOM

PDF was designed for the printer, not the web. As a dev, I’m tired of the "OCR Tax" and the security risks of HTML smuggling in attachments. I built OpenFDD to solve this.

Key Tech:

* **Logic-Less UI:** Explicitly forbids JS. It uses Declarative Shadow DOM and CSS-only logic for interactivity. Safer than a PDF or a standard HTML attachment.
* **AI-Native:** Core data is JSON-LD. LLMs can parse it with 100% accuracy in milliseconds.
* **Trust:** Uses did:web for cryptographic signatures, anchoring identity to the issuer's domain.
* **Persistence:** Uses the File System Access API so documents can save updates to themselves locally (1-file CRM style).

I've submitted the IANA registration for application/vnd.fdd. Looking for feedback on the "Security Shield" logic and the spec itself.
