"Invoice number" is still too coarse-grained. If anyone cared about user privacy, then whatever was supplied to users as an "invoice number" would be a BIP32 extended public key, or something equivalent to that, which would allow the payer to create as many unique addresses as they needed to avoid merging inputs. Also, from a business accounting perspective it's broken and wrong to assume a 1:1 relationship between payment transactions and invoices anyway: http://bitcoinism.blogspot.com/2014/01/business-accounting-and-bitcoin-privacy.html - -- Support online privacy by using email encryption whenever possible.
