I've been thinking about this as 'the yalls problem'. But it is has similarities to recurring payments and bolt11 "offers", where you also have to do an interaction to get the real invoice. To recap: yalls currently asks you to produce a valid invoice which it will then pay. It covers fees (presumably up to some limit). But it's a manual and messy process. At the summit, Takaya Imai proposed a standard mechanism for such a "pull an invoice" request. I now see his wisdom; sorry for the delay! So we need a web way of asking a client to send an invoice or offer over HTTPS. Is this a new URI scheme? How would this work? Longer term, we need a format for bolt11 offers (lno1...?); kind of a template for the real invoice(s) which you would fetch, and a new message type so you can route these requests through the lightning network. This would give us an "automated payment" mechanism, too: you would provide this once and yalls could do automatic payouts by requesting a new invoice though LN itself.
