I was trying to use bip10 for multisig and coinjoin, but there was a 
problem with it.  I'll have to look back at my notes, but I thought I 
sent you a message about it. And then real life swallowed my bitcoin time...

I think the bottom line was that it would be useful in the generic case 
with just one minor change.  If there is interest, and it sounds like 
there just may be, I can dust off my notes and see where I left it.  
Probably should do it soon before someone implements it in PB or XML.
