No. There are XML-based (shudder) standards for electronic invoici= ng that include all sorts of bells and whistles; the PaymentDetails message= could easily encapsulate one of them in an 'invoice' field extensi= on.

I didn't want to wade into that swamp for the 1.0 v= ersion of the payment protocol.
=C2=A0
Right now, i would simply
put that into "memo" and come up with my own serialisation mechan= ism.

"Two Burgers, one Club = Mate" seems pretty user-friendly.=C2=A0

Second, is there a way to communicate acceptance levels of TX
(unconfirmed, 1 conf, 6 conf) maybe using several PaymentACK?

No, because the Payment->PaymentACK communi= cation round-trip is done in one, non-persistent http request-response roun= d-trip.

I don't think we want to allow merchants to p= ush messages to the wallet (wouldn't take long for merchants to use the= opportunity to push annoying advertising at me, I think), and I don't = think we want wallets to poll the merchant. Although maybe a payment protoc= ol version 2.0 feature could be a PaymentACK extension that says "ask = me how the transaction is going at THIS URL in THIS many minutes."
