I have opened a PR to the BIPs repo for this scheme: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1425

Thanks very much to Pavol Rusnak, David Harding, and Christopher Allen
for their comments on this list. We've updated the draft text to try to
address your concerns. In particular:

* Added more text to "Motivation" distinguishing the scheme from SLIP-39
* Added more details to "Rationale" about error correction capabilities
of the code, and to explain that the code does not defend against
malicious errors
* Added a note to use uppercase for QR codes
* Rearranged and clarified the "creating shares" instructions
* Added text about hand-computation, in particular hand-computation
of share verification, to "Motivation".

If any of you would like to be listed under Acknowledgements, please let
me know here or on the PR.


Cheers
Andrew
