Assuming S is a payee, it has every incentive to follow this protocol. Of course, now OM needs to know G, and thus knows S, the payee, and now has the power to censor payments. Heavy sigh. Further, if S is not a payee, but is secretly a sockpuppet of F who is setting up an American Call Option, S can simply not forward to RM until much later. Heavy sigh. Regards, ZmnSCPxj
