Even if you could prove "intent to pay," this would be almost useless. =
I can sincerely intend to do a lot of things, but this doesn't mean I'l=
l ever actually do them.

I am in favor of more zero-confirmation transactions being reversed / d=
ouble-spent. Bitcoin users largely still believe that accepting zero-co=
nf transactions is safe, and evidently it's going to take some harsh le=
ssons in reality to correct this belief.
