I wonder how to properly address different address formats. there is the old v1 addresses with least affordable fees but highes compatibility (v1 can be regarded as obselete as of now, just I guess some might still stick to e.g. vanity addresses), segwit enables v2 formats and native segwit bech32 format … soon then new bech32 encoding for taproot etc.

Now how to add a list of those properly in a value-tag so, that the client might be enabled to choose the compatible format?

Would we assume the client to test the encoding, which might fail e.g. in case of v2 formatted multisig-addresses used before segwit? Or is that matter for the method attribute?

also, how to handle … e. g.

and address attribute according to bolt/bip (optionally) with protocol prefix or explicitly without? looks like the latter for now, dropping the available uri scheme completely.

probably a bad one, but an example: Pentaradio by c3d2

The address type would be recognizable from its prefix/structure, correct? If there are cases where it wouldn’t be then we could always put in a delimiter with the address type on the end. Something like “<address>;<type>“.

Or, maybe I’m misunderstanding you. If so let me know.

that's not sth I would expect, rather in future the idea could be that addresses are indistinguishable for what they might imply.

the proposed expression would be completely non standard, I'd think it's better not to stirr up things and stick to RFC/BIP/BOLT etc.

another (on the example) example is bank transfers, there is a rather not helpful SEPA QR Code and the "Bezahlcode" (payment code) URI available in billing implementations … so I took the latter until I stumble over a better alternative
