[webpayments] What is the use case for the Payment Details object? (#38)

The paymentRequest API currently includes a Payment Details object in a payment request:

http://wicg.github.io/paymentrequest/specs/paymentrequest.html#paymentdetails-dictionary
http://wicg.github.io/paymentrequest/specs/paymentrequest.html#paymentrequest-interface

The Web Payments CG's Browser API specifically does not provide such an interface because small and large retailers have stated that they do not want that information forwarded on to payment service processors (they don't want large technology companies mining their customer data).

What is the expected use case for the payment details object?
