I am the one responsible for the term "directed identity" not
appearing in the specification.
I think "directed identity" is a pretty nebulous term, especially
since it includes the word "identity" which is notoriously hard to
define.

I wrote about the feature that can be used to implement "directed
identity", IdP-driven identifier selection. "Directed identity" is an
IdP feature that requires IdP-driven identifier selection, but it is
not the only thing that is enabled by IdP-driven identifier selection.
If you have IdP-driven identifier selection, then (IMO) "directed
identity" is easy to envision.
