📝 Original message:I've updated the BIP 72 spec at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0072 so
the bitcoin address is optional:
"If the "request" parameter is provided and backwards compatibility is
not required, then the bitcoin address portion of the URI may be
omitted (the URI will be of the form: bitcoin:?request=... )."
The spec already said what should happen if both request and
address/amount/etc were given:
"it should ignore the bitcoin address/amount/label/message in the URI
and instead fetch a PaymentRequest message and then follow the payment
protocol"
I think this gives us a smooth, clear upgrade path.
