having written a couple of these protocols for cosmo already, i think
you might be underestimating the effort to do it in a suitable,
non-hacky way. on the other hand, i think i have a pretty good,
detailed understanding of what needs to happen in the rpc layer to
give us a short term, easy solution to the problem for the next few
months til we have several weeks to put into building the correct
protocol.
