To be clear, where is an implementation of your proposed BIP? The philosophy of the process - particularly for non-consensus BIPs - is running code, preferably in production. An actual number for the standard that code implements isn't a barrier to that process. Remember that it's convenient for all if the number of BIPs out there isn't significantly higher than the number of actual standards in place that are being used. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQE9BAEBCAAnIBxQZXRlciBUb2RkIDxwZXRlQHBldGVydG9kZC5vcmc+BQJVsUBy AAoJEMCF8hzn9Lnc47AIAI11FdNBCFr9TybCvxKS32Idk4aZ4fveJ6ucHZx1PWPl lzoz/CJBZGolWF9jWnpyiCnNxl64MjflNxi62ZD+VS4SEl0uHcYXdqXsNQzk9OoK bZFXHJ57jZlHCwpwiLM72EWN6AZG/XZZFXisNRAvoYqryHdb5dDmVok0wPH87qOH PBTlspyaKH4/OFDpslCdoDTLHcMxlasiyqNdC5NxC7eB1WpEtyGbOd1twvNeNH00 1opJNuajiUm1vJEhMS67a9DhfnYf9/3TDRtkc0lrYfF3r1n2aVtyzlPcJANX/cWa 7L9HtC4WpVLqny0AiTs5dK6DxPIUy/u2Q9yFZ2oL6dM= =RW4h -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
