if we want acceptance, we therefore want numbers.  massive numbers.  micropayments is not so much the issue -  what about microloans?
have you approached kiva (http://www.kiva.org/ )?
has anybody?

Neat idea!  All sorts of chicken-and-egg hurdles to overcome (what good is a bitcoin loan if there is nothing to spend the bitcoins on?), but microlending bitcoins would be great.  I'm spread a little thin at the moment, but if you think a conversation with kiva right now might be worthwhile then go for it.  You don't need anybody's permission or advice to become the Bitcoin-Kiva Liason Officer.
