I currently have 2,ADDR1,ADDR2,ADDR3 (2-of-3 example) as this new address
type.

Agreed.

This is similar to the way the current implementation works.  It uses
HASH160, but there's no attempt to save space by hashing the sum of the
pubkeys.  The major advantage of summing is shorter address for the end
user to copy-paste.  The disadvantage is the need for long term storage o=
f
the key set so you know what keys to sign with.
