+In this document, we focus on the simplest proof-of-concept i13n for Store (PoC).
+Compared to the fully-fledged protocol, the PoC version is simplified in the following ways:
 - cost calculation is based on a common-knowledge price;
 - there is no price advertisement and no price negotiation;
 - each query is paid for in a separate transaction, `txid` acts a proof of payment;
 - the reputation system is simplified (see below);
 - there is no results cross-checking.

 As there is no consensus over past messages, a client may want to query multiple servers and merge their responses.
 Cross-checking helps ensure that servers are a) not censoring real messages; b) not injecting fake messages into history.
