My point is that P2P isn't a single thing -- it's a whole multitude of things, many of which don't make sense to create a DID for. Gnutella is a perfect example of where it wouldn't make sense: the Gnutella protocol didn't provide any way to create a persistent reference to a file that was being shared, and it'd make even less sense to tie an identity to such a file.
