Extensibility w/o coordination should also be a design goal. We can't standardize the information the pharmaceutical industry needs for business to business payments, they should be in charge of figuring out how to express that information in an invoice or receipt. We need to make sure we provide good extensibility hooks for them. Maybe we need three new items (or modify the existing items): * Enable payers to understand the details of a payment, especially the associated costs and fees. * Enable machines to fully automate the payment process. * Provide solid extensibility mechanisms so that industry verticals can customize the payment process and information exchanged to meet their particular needs. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: The Marathonic Dawn of Web Payments http://manu.sporny.org/2014/dawn-of-web-payments/
