Hi Ben,
Thank you for your proposal to integrate BIP-0093 (codex32) as an=20
application within BIP-0085
Reviewing the specification, I believe I see two areas where we could=20
improve clarity for implementers:
1) The DRNG=E2=86=925-bit extraction process could benefit from explicit ps=
eudocode=20
to avoid implementation variations
2) The rule 'threshold =3D=3D 0 implies n =3D=3D 1' currently appears as a =
note but=20
could be clearer as a normative requirement"
Best Regards,
Javier Mateos
