Which is why I find the "SignedReceipt" somewhat superfluous. If you =
implement a payment system, like bit-pay/wallet you are likely to double =
that through some sort of e-mail receipt anyway.

Further, the inclusion of x509 is not really needed in the spec - you =
don't need to sign the invoice with an x509, you can use the payment =
key. The proof would still be equally binding, and valid also for non =
holders of x509 (server) certificates (like normal people).
Finally, host certificates does not normally keep in their "purpose" =
S/MIME Signing. So you are bending the intended use of the x509 =
certificate anyway.
