I think the way to go here is using multiple r= parameters.

Either that, or just use the other ones as a fallback. Currently,
Bitcoin Wallet just falls back to BIP21 if fetching the PR via the r=
URL fails.

Its "specced" in code and implemented by several parties. I think its
clear that link-layer encryption has to be an add-on to the current
unencrypted connection, just like HTTPS is on top of HTTP. Anyway,
that's unrelated to the question of how to provide fallback URLs.

One more thought: We have a similar problem with the BIP70 payment URL.
It doesn't allow for fallbacks either. I brought this issue up in the
discussion phase of BIP70, but it was dismissed I think because of
"let's not get too complex for the first version". The fallback here is
to send the transaction via the P2P network.

(I think BIP70 via P2P radio will get used more often in future. I plan
to look into Bluetooth 4 LE as soon as I have devices and wanted to try
WIFI Direct again also. I hope we can skip BIP72 for both of those, but
lets see.)
