Re: [webpayments] PROPOSAL: The PaymentRequest object SHOULD NOT expose internal state information to the developer. Any design that requires developers to manage or understand the request state is a compromise in the API design that should be avoided where possible. (#64)

@adrianba it means "delete the line readonly attribute PaymentRequestState state; from the PaymentRequest interface WebIDL".

It does not mean the API shouldn't be based on a state machine, clearly there is state here and you need to track it, but you should do it internally (if possible, and we're asserting it's possible).
