The only part that has an x509 cert associated is in the invoice message.
message Invoice {
// repeated bytes x509chain = 1;
optional string domainName =1;
repeated Output outputs = 2;
required uint64 time = 3;
optional uint64 expires = 4;
optional bool single_use = 5 [default = true];
optional string memo = 6;
optional string receiptURI = 7;
optional bytes merchant_data = 8;
}
Removing that and adding a opaque string called domain name, or
identityName would be sufficient to move the conversation forward
without the x.509 baggage.
