Martin, I like your idea for the commit protocol in that it resolves the vandalous address substitution attack. However, I don't see a way to prevent privacy loss without adverse impact to the scenario. Anyone could perform the handshake and thereby obtain the payment request. Therefore to

Let's say you're visiting an international webshop. But they don't ship to your country. Wouldn't you want to know that before your start filling the cart? With this, your wallet / browser extension could tell you right away that you can't shop there. No time wasted! Why my wallet has to

We can certainly imagine many BIP70 extensions, but for things like auto-filling shipping addresses, is the wallet the best place to do it? My browser already knows how to fill out this data in credit card forms, it would make sense to reuse that for Bitcoin. It sounds like you want a kind of
