I like protobuf, personally, for C++ stuff. I just imagined it would be
harder on mobile, or in some languages, to implement. I'll focus on the
scheduling issue. Really, that's the only thing I want hashed out.

I think the intervals should *not* be flexible, even at the protocol level,
to prevent attacks designed to confuse users - plus for shorter intervals,
you need payment channels anyway. Also, I think the spec should be rigid
with respect to response times, retry periods, etc.... to encourage
consistency among wallet vendors. Not sure how anyone else feels about
that. I suspect the netki guys should have opinions, since they are
working on similar UI-stuff.
Should UI standards go somewhere else - not in a BIP? I do think there
need to be UI standards. Something with RFC-style should/must/will/wont
language, like "Wallet software *must* show unconfirmed transactions as
distinct from confirmed", and "Wallet software *should *show some visual
indication of other levels of confirmation" .... stuff like that.
