OK, I'm ignoring your sarcastic style, I just wanted to support the URL idea, which is KISS attitude, in the oposite of everything else proposed here. I'm really affraid of over-engineering the aliases, which will make it hard to implement in clients. Somebody noticed account implementation in standard client - yes, it's good example of fail.

I still don't see any serious issue with the URL proposals. And sipa's idea of posting back the transaction ID is also interesting, prividing yet another flexibility in implementation and possible usage.

Btw, Rick, feel free to provide me some relevant RFCs which are solving similar problems like BIP 15. And no, it's not sarcasm, I really want to learn something new. Until now I just feel we're reinventing wheel or raping some stuff which we should not touch at all (DNS).

wow, really. Maybe you could review some RFCs, there are thousands of
examples where some really smart engineers chose the exact opposite
path which you propose below.
