1. I concur. But it's no big deal. 2. Nothing prevents this, but it would be specified as a sister protocol. I haven't seen it specified, but I know that relays are doing it. 3. Websockets allows pub-sub. Clients stay connected to relays and instantly get the next message when it arrives. Polling means either lots of polling or having delays. 4. I can't even comment on this one. 5. Optional chaining is possible and has been proposed.

I also started a nostr-like protocol back in November 2022 based on my gripes with it. Then I came to my senses... nobody is going to use my variant. Perfection is the enemy of the good.
