Thanks for the reply.

The way we would do it is:

Let's say we have 3 cold keys for multisig: A B and C

Whose xpubs are: xA xB and xC

We all sign each other's xpubs, whose signatures are:
sAxB
sAxC
sBxA
sBxC
sCxA
sCxB

We can then create a wallet that says "when verifying change with 0x01
global type proposed by Andrew Chow, if the change is multisig, we MUST
require the other pubkeys to have signatures via my 0x02 proposal"

This way, all my PSBTs for my cold will have:
1. an 0x01 entry to tell me how to get my change.
2. All 6 of the signatures above.

And the signer will then look at the change, check my pubkey by deriving
the xpub and checking equality to the BIP_DERIVATION of the output... it
will then check the OTHER pubkeys via BIP32_DERIVATION to master
fingerprint, then link that fingerprint to a 0x02 sig from MY key,
verifying all pubkeys.

So this proposal of mine would not only fix the "send to address
verification" problem for HD, but also the multisig change problem with
0x01.

Cool.

Only thing that is kind of sad is having to include n! (of m-of-n)
signatures in every PSBT... but tbh, the PSBT size is not of much concern.

Thanks for the reply.
