Hi Alan,

I have now read BIP0010 - one first idea is: add a link to it on the =
wiki (or remove all bip links from the wiki... - we don't want two =
places for BIPs...)

I am not sure where you prefer the discussion on the content of the BIP =
- but now you get it here, but feel free to redirect...

Likes:
* inclusion of prevout txout scripts - could prove handy
* that it is a proposal to do this similarly on all clients

Dislikes:
* the format - I guess I would prefer a normal JSON format - where the =
scripts gets populated step by step. As for the scriptPubKey (now an =
awful name...) it would be easy to just add it to the JSON, or have the =
prevouts simply be the actual txouts instead of {hash,n}.

Comments:
* it is good to have this proposal, but I think that once we see ways to =
communicate it they could very well radically steer how a format should =
look. Take e.g. the discussion we had with Gavin yesterday, if we had =
chosen to move in that direction BIP0010 would had been useless. So =
perhaps a bit premature?

Cheers,

Michael
