Apparently Bitmex research last month wrote an excellent article using the same idea about data in private keys that I mentioned on the mailing list last May: (I don't think they had seen my post). Jokes aside, it is kinda fascinating to try to formally prove that you can't embed data in Schnorr in P, (R,s) without doing this. I have a vague outline but it's quite unclear.

Wow, looking on twitter, that article got a lot of attention on twitter! Understandably. But it was kinda obvious, plus I'm not sure people appreciate the "non utxo utxo" aspect.
