+Perhaps there should be a feature against this? For instance, if a transaction isn't accepted by the recipient for a long period of time (a month?), the transaction will be canceled and the coins returned to the one who sent them?

+That's not possible.  You've handed control of the money over to the recipient's keypair.  Only that key can control it.

+It's similar to if you encrypt a file with AES and a strong password, and you lose the password.  The data is lost.
