Although this is a well established functionality, it has never been
published in a BIP.  My proposal is simply to provide a reference point for
future expansion of these capabilities into new address schemes.

It's not even correct... Your first "verify message" step is not possible; you 
can't get a public key from an address.

What is actually done, is using the signature + message to perform key 
recovery, to extract the public key of the signer, and then hashing that and 
comparing it to the address provided.

New schemes should probably NOT be based on the current one.

Thank you... I've updated.

Fair enough... I still think there are those who would still like an
existing sign/verify BIP to reference.

I already posted about this, then what is doing the pubkey in sigscript
for standard p2pkh transactions? (this was not the case some time ago)

Scriptsig not "sigscript" below

Now you must answer this question, because this is what we call a hard fork
