The payer would have to send a message to the payee to initiate it.  Even
if the search was only going to be conducted from the payer end, the payee
would probably have to know about it to recognize that the transaction was
meant for them when the search messages reached their node.  I suppose it
would be possible to encrypt something with the payee's public key and
include it in the search, but then every connector would have to attempt to
decrypt every search message they received to see if it was for them...

Cell structure routing is just a sketchy idea I had years ago.  I'm not
sure how useful or feasible it is, but I linked to it in case it helps
someone to come up with a truly good idea :)
