Re: [i18n-activity] No means of negotiating the language/locale of the payment experience (#1413)

Seems like I've written this comment before--and indeed I *have* written it before. See, for example, [here](https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1043). PaymentRequest inserted this note as a result of that comment:

> The API does not currently provide a way for developers to specify the language and base direction in which the payment sheet is presented to end users. Instead, the API relies on localization information inherited from the document. The working group is considering support for requesting specific localization of the user interface and of individual PaymentItems and user-facing error messages in a future version of this API. 

PaymentRequest published a CR draft on 2021-09-07 (so two days ago) with that note, so I doubt we'll get a change in the current version of that, but I think this is a gap that authentication and payments should address head on before we get a _lot_ of specs going 🤷🤷‍♂️. 😉
