I'm just repeating the rationale Gavin gave me for adding this to the spec last year when he was implementing it. Perhaps it only applied to some versions of PHP or something like that. Jeremy, good comments. A pull request to fix those would be good. One issue I seem looming on the horizon is that we'll need a version of the payment protocol document that's living. Trying to reverse engineer the current spec by manually reading all the BIPs and layering them in your head is a non starter.
