I believe supporting XRP Escrow encryption algorithms within BitShares HTLC algorithms is a good step to the future of having atomic swaps between BitShares and CMC Ranked #3 XRP networks.

Also XRP has built in API which is supported by Blockchain coders themselves, this would help us to integrate some standard API calls to any XRP node and give users the ability to trust any XRP node to execute the escrow transactions.

I say if it's doable, lets do it, if it's complex and hard to do now, lets keep it in mind.

If the goal is to connect our chain to XRP then we should start from there and see what's necessary to achieve it. Like I said above, the mere addition of a new hash function is not it.
