Hi!

Thanks for the initial review! I am now refining the ERC and I am implementing in on web3protocol-go -- sometimes implementation helps to track some conceptual bugs.

@SamWilsn Also thanks again for the review; for taking the time to read this whole thing and make comments! :-)

Now thinking about the signaling discussed just before.

Ok got the rough idea : a /.well-known/ URL that expose the currently processed blocks of blockchains. The client can then poll this URL and wait until the user TX block was processed in the web3:// client before redirecting. That way he can ensure the user will see the new version. The web3:// client MAY use the fetching of this /.well-known/ URL as a signal to speed up the processing of new blocks.

I'll add that shortly.
