Right, that does make more sense. Yes, it's a good idea. The question is
whether wallet UI's can support it without being overly complex. We'd be
asking users to take extra steps to work around unintuitive limitations of
the protocol. Products that do that too much tend to get left for something
that "just works". But there may be a slick way to present it.
