I've written a draft BIP describing the bloom filtering protocol extension developed by myself and Matt.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0037 (yes I know there's some kind of process around getting allocated a number - it seems overkill for this). Please read it and let me know if there are any missing details or things which sound wrong. Design-wise, it occurred to me as I wrote the BIP that the method of delaying reception of invs is a bit ad-hoc. It may be better to have a bloom filter be sent in the version message itself. On the other hand, having a flag to delay invs means that the filter can be calculated in parallel to bringing up the network connections. Whilst actually making a Bloom filter is fast, with deterministic wallets you may need to do a lot of calculations to find the keys to scan for. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
