Hi David,

I've found some small textual issues (I'm looking at the PDF version):

In section 3.1 in step 1 (on PDF page 4):

"element 2*i+1 to a random byte of string of Hash.length bytes."

This sentence is slightly puzzling. A random bytestring?

Section 4.2, first paragraph, last sentence:

"so batch signing inherits preserves separation"

This sentence contains two verbs.

It looks like an interesting proposition, which could also be interesting
in the context of some of the post-quantum signing algorithms.

Cheers,

Thom
