Is there any consideration given to the fact that bitcoin can operate as a
platform for many other services, if it is able to be neutral to payload,
as long as the fee is paid for the transaction size?
Unless I have misunderstood this discussion, it seems to me that this is a

of an address does not effectively prevent single character errors or
transpositions.
For instance https://blockexplorer.com/search/1ByteCoin
