Getting back to the original proposal:
RE: uuid instead of "main" / "test" in the payment protocol:
I vote no.
The payment protocol will become at least 3 BIPs:
1) Protocol messages (current gist, essentially)
2) MIME type
3) bitcoin: URI extension
An alt coin will need its own version of (2)

Bitcoin currently uses raw hashes extensively as UUIDs; whether the payment

Some alt coins may share a blockchain, or even merely the genesis block (two
currently do; despite one of those being a scamcoin, I think the po
Bitcoinj already has such chain id's and we use standard Java style reverse
DNS names: org.bitcoin.main, etc. If we want a more global naming system
