For example, using abandon abandon ability becomes 8 zeros but how does
the entropy field know it's hex and not binary? It assumes the
worst-case scenario of binary, so entropy should be shown in binary.
Perhaps if entropy type is explicitly selected in the future this can be
changed back to using hex. But while magical assumptions exist, binary
it must be.
Currently, this sequence produces an unexpected result:
1) Navigate to bip39-standalone.html
2) Paste a known-good mnemonic into the BIP39 Mnemonic field
3) Select "Show entropy details"
This will erase the BIP39 Mnemonic field and most of the derived
address/key information. It shows an empty Entropy field, and zeroes
for Event Count, Bits Per Event, Raw Entropy Words, Total Bits, etc.
However, it will show valid Word Indexes and BIP39 Seed.
The way to fix it is to convert the mnemonic back into a raw entropy
value and populate it in DOM.entropy, so that everything stays
consistent. This will only happen if the mnemonic is manually entered
by the user, not if phraseChanged() is triggered by hand-editing the
entropy value.
