> Status: Proposed

This should only be set after peer review and implementations are complete, 
and you intend that there will be no further changes.

> As registered coin types we propose the ones already used for BIP44, which 
can be found at the following page.

I suggest just referring to SLIP 44 directly.

You're missing the Backward Compatibility and Copyright sections.
