I had hoped to get -23 out end of last week, and missed my cutoff. I am 
now in IACR's Real World Crypto, where I have gotten a couple pointers 
for DRIP work.

I was waiting for two analyzes that I got Jan 4, and incorporating them 
in.  I believe these SHOULD address much of EKR's questions.

I will have a run of 1M DEX random HIs to HITs generated with no 
duplicates that I add in an Appendix along with the Python code.

I am adding a BEX/DEX crypto cost into 1.2, probably 1.2.1:

For an Initiator, BEX is:

2 PK sig varifications.
1 PK sig generation.
1 DH keypair generation.
1 DH secret derivation.

DEX is:

1 DH secret derivation.

I have cycles for these and a paper to reference, except ECDH keypair 
generation, on an 8 bit process and the numbers are big. But I think 
that part belongs in an Appendix.

So unlikely Friday.  But early the following week.
