-==Key sorting==
+==Backwards compatibility==
+
+Currently a number of wallets already utilize this derivation scheme for HD multi-sig accounts.
+This BIP is intended to maintain the *existing* real world use of the `48'` derivation.
+No breaking changes are made so as to avoid "loss of funds" to existing users.
+Wallet's which currently support the `48'` derivation will not need to make any changes
+to comply with this BIP.

+==Specification==
+
+===Key sorting===
 
 Any wallet that supports BIP48 inherently supports deterministic key sorting as per BIP67 so that all possible
 multi-signature addresses/scripts are derived from deterministically sorted public keys.
