Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:12 asn]:
 > I called it extra because the hash in the vanilla verification equation
 is `H(R,A,M)` while yours has 4 parameters: `H(R, HB(nonce, B, A)*B,
 HB(nonce, B, A)*A, M)`

 In Ed25519, the public key is `A`.  In my blinded-public-key variant of
 Ed25519, the blinded public key is `(HB(nonce, B, A)*B, HB(nonce, B,
 A)*A)`.  Since Ed25519 uses `H(R, (public key), M)` as its message hash,
 the obvious message hash to use for a blinded-public-key version was `H(R,
 (blinded public key), M)`.
