You guys have created a powerful tool, and integrating it into https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39 would allow for the broader crypto community to access it easily. Please do that when you get a chance!

This library is really just a thin wrapper around https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/js-human-crypto-keys that exposes the minimum needed API needed to generate Arweave compliant RSA keys using mnemonics. I believe the bip39 library you referenced above is built on the same underlying modules actually used within the human crypto keys library to generate the mnemonic that serves as the random seed for the keys created by the library.

That said, do you think RSA key generation from mnemonic seeds is really needed beyond arweave? I'm not aware of any other blockchains that use that key system.
