Notes on the proposed Web Payments WG charter

HTML A11y TF,

There is an action for someone to take a look at the draft Web Payments WG
charter on behalf of the TF. I've read it through and overall think it's
positive in terms of accessibility.

A couple of notes...

In the opening "mission statement" section, the benefits of reducing
fragmentation are listed. It would be good for accessibility to be included
in this list, perhaps by changing this benefit:

"Improved transparency and confidence in digital payments for consumers as a
result of increased choice and standardized flows and experiences."

To something like:

"Improved transparency and confidence in digital payments for consumers as a
result of increased choice and standardized flows and accessible
experiences."

In section 3.2 (Optional deliverables) a card payments recommendation is
proposed. In the list of things such a recommendation could achieve, it
would be good to mention accessibility. Perhaps by adding the following:

"Demonstrate how to present a debit-pull digital payment scheme interface
that is accessible and usable by consumers."

The last thing is a minor nit, but in section 4.2 (Other W3C groups) It
should probably be APA instead of PF listed as the liaison.

Léonie.
