Yes, that's the other problem with a merchant setting a fee - they have no
idea how large the transaction might be. If you spend a bunch of dust the
fee could be 2 or 3x the expected fee. Then you might get merchants
including higher fees by default to account for this. That means we end up
paying more per kb over time.
