Short comments:

* What if the SignedReceipt is not received AND the transactions IS =
posted on the p2p. Then you have payed for the goods, but you don't have =
a receipt. This could happen both from malice or system failures.
** Suggestion - sign the invoice with the key to which to send the =
transaction, the proof of payment, equivalent to a signed receipt is =
then in the blockchain.

This scheme would work both with or without x509, if you want to include =
x509, the message in the invoice could simply be signed by the x509 =
certificate as well.

PRO: Any user can send signed invoices, not only those with a x509 cert.
PRO: No limbo situation with no SignedReceipt
CON: This disables the use of anything but payment to key/address incl =
multisig etc.

However, the wast majority of use will anyway be payment to key/address.

Support of general pay to script could be supported through the payment =
scheme proposed earlier by Mike: No non-fee payments are accepted, =
except in a group - i.e. it is up to the merchant to generate the final =
transaction incl the fees, and that one could be to a general script. =
This also keeps the support of pay to general script needed for a client =
to a minimum.

Cheers,

Michael
