Descriptors are unambiguous as to the public keys to use (derivation paths for extended keys are explicit) and the scripts to use. This makes them suitable for importing to other wallets without confusion. In contrast, traditional import mechanisms support only keys with special versioning to indicate the scripts to produce, and don't provide the derivation paths. This creates a situation where a user imports an extended key into a wallet but is unable to see their addresses because that wallet uses a different derivation path than the original wallet. Descriptors avoids this issue entirely by specifying the derivation paths (if any) and the scripts to produce.\

_Please note that our definitions are only applicable in the context of Gordian Seed Tool and within the Blockchaincommons domain. We acknowledge that there's some controversion in the space about which term means what means what to who. However, for the novice learner it's indespensible to have some sort of hand rail to hold on to while climbing the steps of the steep learning curve that proper key management involves._
