This adds a BIP for a standard for storing fidelity bonds in BIP39 seed phrases.

Preferably the BIP number will be a two-digit number to match the BIP44, BIP49, BIP84, BIP86 family of BIPs. Alternatively if a three-digit number is the only way then I suggest BIP-842 because it matches the bip32 derivation path m / 84' / 0' / 0' / 2 / index

This doesn't actually use BIP39 -- I think it would be clearer and more general to just say "storing fidelity bonds in BIP32 hierarchical trees" and leave the encoding of the master seed out of scope.

Good thinking. I checked the other similar BIPs and I see they don't mention BIP39 either.

Needs a section to address backward compatibility (even if it simply explains why it's not applicable)
