I recently wrote a manuscript analyzing a hashed-based signature
scheme proposed in draft-mcgrew-hash-sigs-02.

Abstract of the paper:

We analyze a signature scheme described in a recent Internet Draft,
and highlight a variant (based on prior work of Micali and Leighton)
that offers improved concrete security.
