Comment(by warner):
That sounds good. Although, after reading quickly through the paper, I'm
still not sure why we need the expander, if SHA-2-512d will give us 512
bits of quality entropy, and we don't have any curves larger than 512
bits. Does it take more than K bits to construct a private key for a K-bit
curve?
But, their arguments seem sound, and going with a respected standard wins
in my book.
Your proposal sounds fine to me.
