The point of the extended URI is to allow the server to negotiate payment details (payment/order information, fees, new privacy address, etc) rather than merely sending a simple payment to a single fixed address. I am not convinced *aliases* are practical, without CA trust. An organization that wants to trust a CA with all their funds can leave off the address portion, to provide more human-friendly URIs.
