When Pieter and I were working on Bech32 we specifically designed for
error correcting codes that had good performance for longer lengths
than we technically needed specifically to incorporate things like
dates and explicit amounts.
(explicit amounts so that typos and bit flips in amounts displayed or
in memory couldn't result in sending the wrong amount)
But we also thought that also adding those features at the same time
would retard adoption-- both due to debating over the encodings and
because handling would result in different software requirements and
layering, so you couldn't just drop them in.
Doubly unfortunately, people have even deployed BIP173 already (prior
to it even having much peer review or being adopted by its own
authors), so I think a rethink now wouldn't be timely (I mean as a
replacement to BIP173 rather than an additional format). :(
But I do support the idea.
One thing to keep in mind is that address format linked fields are
most efficient if they're multiples of 5 bits. Perhaps use 1 bit to
indicate an embedded amount and 19 bits of 1 day precision, resulting
in a 1435 year span.
Keep in mind that high precision of the expiration times is asking the
sender to have a higher precision of idea of the time, date only is
kinda nice. I think shorter expiration times are unlikely to be
useful due to clock skew-- you can't assume a signer has any access to
the Bitcoin network at all.
