Then, since you wrote this proposal, maybe you should add the very
precise description of the signing/verification process since it is
documented nowhere

I don't get the use of the speech regarding keys while it should focus
on signatures which are summarized in a vague sentence inspired by your
ref [2] with a not very logical link to the next paragraph stating that
r,s should be 32B and the whole thing 65B with a header of 1B, you did
not invent it, that's probably the rule, not sure where it is specified
again and for what purpose, the header seems completely of no use
especially when you extend to segwit/bech32 since you just have to check
that related compressed key matches
