The Open Banking Standard (HTTP API)

This is a report noting that the UK has started toward an Open Banking
API using W3C/IETF technology. They're starting their own Standards
Setting Organization to do it (sadly). The API will give access to a
variety of banking features and cites PSD2 as one of the drivers for the
work. W3C is mentioned as important at the bottom of page 138.

I keep saying that not doing HTTP API work is a missed opportunity for
W3C as this stuff is going to become more and more commonplace:

This is also why the HTTP API in the Web Payments WG is important. It
doesn't cover nearly everything that's covered in the Open Banking API,
but it does cover one major part of it (payments).

This is directly relevant to the IG's future work.
