Tamas,

You could use a key for both signing and for derivation of a deeper=20
level (and perhaps there are some applications for this, if you think of=
=20
any please let me know), but the use cases being considered involve=20
generation of signing key sequences from seeds that are easy to backup=20
and easy to share with others to simplify multidevice synchronization,=20
key management, account structures, etc... while also allowing for=20
privacy by making it nontrivial to associate transactions for an account=
=20
without knowing the seed/chain code.

As such, we generally refer to such sequences by a path to the immediate=
=20
parent node in the tree and reserve the children themselves for the=20
signing keys.


- Eric
