Thanks. A common scheme would solve a lot of problems for developers and would certainly be something I'd support.
Feel free to pass my offer onto any of the Market guys if you want.

I think there'd be definite value for Android as a whole if the different app stores that move in that direction could adopt a common API for such a mechanism. Added bonus for SDK integration. Beyond that I have no visibility into Google's plan for such a scheme on Market.
