Re: [webpayments] Should the payment request contain line item details? (#38)

Should the payment request contain line item details? I am not sure this is the correct question. The question should be: What remittance information should be present in the payment request - line items is only one aspect of the problem, there are many other alternatives possible, like:
- the stuctured communication (used by the merchant for reconciliation purposes - frenquently used in many countries - BE, FIN, NL, JP, ...) for which an ISO standard has been created a couple of year ago
- underlying document type, which can have multiple forms
- line items (of an invoice),
- detailed tax information is another example (important when the payment falls under specific tax exemption legislation)......
I would actually suggest that the payment request contains a remittance container, which could potentially be forwarded to all parties in the payment chain.
