If you read it that way, then I strongly recommend we put implementeren advise 
there. The last thing we want is implemented deciding differently on the 
minimum entropy enforced. Because if I say 32 bytes length and you say 16, 
interop with me breaks until I lower to 16, and a few years down the line we 
all set the minimum length at 1 for interoperability.

If it’s advise to the user, we can hand wave. If it is requirement for the 
implementer, we need very specific directions.
