It's quite common to run into situations where the payee is *not* online. Similarly requiring them to be online is a security risk and defeats many ways of authenticating payment addresses. This stuff isn't evident in trivial consumer<->merchant use-cases, but is very common in anything else. For instance, consider the case of moving funds from a hot wallet or cold, and vice-versa.

Luke-Jr: sounds like some of the ideas I've been playing around with for generalised stealth addresses, using a declarative template scheme to avoid specifying scriptPubKey formats too explicitly. (though obcs k-anon set issues)
