Matt, could you expand on use cases for which you see Shamir's Secret =
Sharing Scheme as the best tool for the job? In particular, when do you =
see that it would be superior to simply going with multisig in the first =
place? Perhaps you see these as complimentary approaches, toward =
defense-in-depth? In any case, the Motivation and Rationale sections of =
the BIP in its current form are silent on these questions.

commonly known as Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme. Additionally, an =
encoding methodology is proposed to standardize transmission and storage =
