 ephemeral events that have to be held for an indeterminate amount of time is not in the definition of ephemeral 
 anyhow, i haven't read the nip that close, but i just wonder why so much more energy goes to it than NIP-42 which actually solves an immediate problem for relays, i think we should have both working, for sure, but i don't know whether this is overly complicated because i had to scroll through three screenfuls of text which seems like a lot of stuff for a simple proxy process 
 and upon a reread, it really does jam way too many things together

i don't think that bitcoin would have ever been built without none of this, it's only been the post-established-working-protocol that this has been adopted

this specification process should be a wiki

you know, like that thing you been working on @PABLOF7z  
 if you think nip 42 needs more energy, then contribute to it. it's not up to you to decide who works on what. 
 the spec is fine

it's the lack of implementation, and how much of an impediment that is to real business use of this protocol
