Thanks Peter for your prompt reply. And now that I think of it you're right - as easy as it is for us to differentiate OP_RETURN outputs that contain the Po.et prefix it would be for miners to block those transactions altogether. Is this what you mean?
Still, a prefix is something we may have to live with for a little while until we can address that issue. Is there a formal / standard process to claim it we should follow?
