The obvious problem is that if you can frame it as a valid address, you can
put what you want there. If you can make it pass the validation, miners
have no way of knowing it's not a valid address.
Of course, there is nothing new about this. I ran strings on the blockchain
and found all sorts of ascii rubbish right from the beginning.
