Couple of things I just thought about:

1- Presume server should only sweep with two (or more, see below) =
revocation certificates being present
2- Need to insert something in the flow so that Alice can verify that =
the uploaded key is actually Bob's (and perhaps vise-versa, given an =
extremely dedicated attacker with a fast connection?).

Is there a way to do #2 without creating yet another transaction? =
Admittedly I am still really puzzled about the accessibility of public =
keys in Bitcoin!

Please remember that the idea is to have two wallets securely exchange a =
packet of metadata about a transaction beyond the scope of Bitcoin =
itself (a name, perhaps a small photo, etc) in order to increase =
usability. This will be my last post here on the topic except to reply =
in case anyone else contributes.

clients (wallets) are going to be beating down the server all the time =
checking for keys, or that there is a possibility of a desynchronization =
