Subject: Call for reviews of Web Payments HTTP API spec

Hey John and Katie,

Just a heads-up that the call for review/support of the Web Payments
Core Messages and HTTP API spec is out:

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-payments-wg/2016Apr/0213.html

The group is going to make a decision on it next Thursday during the
telecon.

Integrating the HTTP API spec into the Web Payments WG failed last week
because not enough people read the spec and made comments on it. I need
your help - this stuff is important for the Web Payments ecosystem and,
I assert, is important for accessibility.

The Web Payments HTTP API would enable people with accessibility needs
to "bring their own app or device" to a payment interaction. That is,
the HTTP API would enable people to have non-interactive payment apps
(or interactive ones w/ very specific accessibility features) without
having to operate in a browser environment. Imagine an app on a personal
device (not a browser) that had an audio interface for payments "Your
total is $114.34 for groceries. Would you like to pay?"... "Yes".

I'm sure both of you could think of more compelling accessibility use
cases for Web Payments (and if you do, please tell me!), but the one
above feels compelling enough to support the adoption of the Web
Payments HTTP API into the Web Payments Working Group.

Please respond to the call for support before close of business next
Tuesday so people have the chance to read your thoughts before the call.

If you'd like to schedule a call and go through both docs together, I'd
be happy to do that too. My availability (all times ET):

Mon 1pm-5pm
Tue 3pm-5pm
Wed 10am-4pm
