Is there a standard bluetooth protocol for bitcoin transactions?

If not, there probably should be before it becomes a tower of babel.   While using QR codes is fine in most situations, it would seem there might be an advantage if the sender could transmit a copy of the signed transaction so that the receiver could broadcast the transaction to the network, in the case where the sender is unconnected to the public network.

Actually the Android app already has Bluetooth support. I worked on it with Andreas at a hackathon in Berlin last year. What we need to do now is add a security layer and standardise it.
