There were a number of requests last week to use a document collaboration
format that is better than Google Sheets for the wallet protocol discussion.

The protocol analysis work was really stressing the limits of the commenting
system in Google Sheets, which isn't nearly as good as the one in Google
Docs... so I spent a few hours translating the content over to a new Google Doc:

W3C CCG Digital Wallet Invocation Protocols Analysis
https://docs.google.com/document/d/139dTcWp28LePAQjrA1uXVy4d154B22Y2d-vn5GvIaec/edit#

I've been able to pull the summary tables over, as well as all of the
commentary in every cell. The OIDC/SIOP stuff isn't in the document above
because it only covers wallet invocation technologies and part of the insight
that we were able to glean over the last two weeks is that OIDC/SIOP belongs
more in the presentation exchange protocols than it does in the wallet
invocation comparison. The technologies that OIDC/SIOP uses for wallet
invocation (protocol handler / app link) are listed in the document above.

I have not been able to move over the presentation exchange protocol analysis
yet, but will do so soon. The old spreadsheet has been locked as read-only
with pointers to the new documents.

Anyone with the link above can comment and make suggestions throughout the
document. We're still in the information gathering/debate phase and will
continue to refine the document as the weeks roll on... so don't be shy about
commenting/suggesting changes to the document.
