I propose a method to mark blocks to indicate that they were generated
without verifying the previous block. This can be done by using a bit of
the version field.
This would counter the reduction of security caused by what is known as
"SPV-mining".
The BIP is here:

Sorry, I wasn't aware. This is indeed the same proposal.
