All good reasons, thanks for the explanation.
Though I still like my idea of a ValidatePurchase message that allows
a buyer to ask a merchant "would you accept this payment?" without
actually supplying a signed transaction. Make it optional if you care
about minimising the number of round trips, e.g. for fast NFC
payments.
Having such a message reduces the extent to which you need to trust
the merchant not to spend a transaction that they've rejected. (And
in the non-Internet connected case this is particularly useful since
the client won't have the ability to broadcast a pay-to-self
transaction.)
