Re: [w3c/webpayments-method-identifiers] Link to registry of W3C-published short strings (#26)

> I think that if we are confident enough to publish a FPWD of a Note, then I'm ok to advertise the short string. But before that I think the risks are too great of accidental deployment.

Agree this should be a curated list and not include any and all work we are doing only those the WG has consensus to take up. Minimum requirement should be that the WG has created a dedicated repo for the spec so that developers can convene around the work and hopefully contribute to it.

Publishing a list of experimental short strings with links to the in-progress specs seems like a very effective way to get wide input on these.

As a sidenote, this is another mechanism by which the WG is unintentionally making itself a gatekeeper for new payment methods that wish to be published in this way. If we're going to be overly restrictive about how PMIs get published in this spec then we should not publish them in the spec and stick to simply registry as discussed previously.
