Re: A Somewhat Critical View of SOP (Same Origin Policy)

I must confess to not following this thread in great detail but I have
noticed regular reference to the Web Payments activity and yet none of the
activity's mailing lists are copied to invite comment.

This last series of mails suggests that the work being done in the payments
activity is doomed to fail because it will not be able to follow SOP
security principals.

Am I understanding the current position of the SOP critics correctly?

If so, can we get a concise explanation as what is being proposed in the
current draft of the Web Payments WG charter that these critics believe
cannot be implemented in an SOP compliant manner?
