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.
