Dear bitcoin-dev,

I'm making a website to tell my bitcoin wallet program to donate to more than one address at a time. BIP71 needs me to include a URL to do this, and then the wallet has to find out the information from the URL. I'd prefer to just send my wallet a URI with all the information it needs to make the donations.

Please would you tell me if this idea is BIP-able?

Will

You can do this using a BIP70 payment request. It allows you to specify several scripts (addresses) to pay to, and the individual amounts for each script.

BIP70 payment requests can be transmitted via NFC, Bluetooth, HTTP(S), Mail... see https://github.com/schildbach/bitcoin-wallet/wiki/Payment-Requests for an overview.
