I'm one of the people experimenting in this area. I've long argued that a zero-output transaction should be permitted -- 100% miner fee -- as an elegant proof of sacrifice. Unfortunately that requires a hard fork. Also, for most people, it seems likely that a change transaction would be generated. That, then, would generate an already-standard transaction, where inputs > outputs. -- Jeff Garzik Senior Software Engineer and open source evangelist BitPay, Inc. https://bitpay.com/
