What I currently fail to see is, how we would securely agree on a
wordlist. Hex Digests is a somewhat canonical representation with an
mapping between bits and hex digests that is -- hopefully -- immediately
clear to the user. When using such a word list it opens all kinds of
possibilities to silently alter some of the wordlists participants
download.
