Sounds like marketing bullshit to me. It does not have even statistical
meaning; well, you can "save" a lot of satoshis, but nobody tell you that

Payment protocol should not contain these fictional data, which has no real
meaning for the payment itself. Put these marketing claims to memo field
instead...

slush
