I've written up a proposal on how to economically secure 0-conf double spends.
The short version is whenever a miner detects a double spend, the miner can choose which transaction to process, and which to use as a double spend proof, and consensus allows that miner to take the remaining balance of that wallet. This enables merchants to consider 1/2 wallet spends economically secure, and double spend attempts costly or unprofitable for an attacker.

Thoughts?
