Thanks for the pointers.

I'm a fan of the work on lightning, however the 402 response itself doesnt
seem to be lightning specific

So it seems that the main difference is that this work uses

X-Token

vs the draft using

Pay-Token

And the body contains bolt11 payment request

Both approaches seem reasonable?

Perhaps the draft could look at a variety of implementations and use cases.
