Description
Link to problem area:
https://spec.matrix.org/v1.13/identity-service-api/#post_matrixidentityv2sign-ed25519
Issue
The signatures field in the response for /_matrix/identity/v2/sign-ed25519 does not make it clear if it "my.id.server" should be a server id or something else.
Is it supposed to be the same as the signatures field in /_matrix/identity/v2/3pid/bind`?
