Re: [w3c/webpayments] [Payment Request] Should we allow a "polling" mechanism for websites to not invoke the API if there are no enabled methods (#159)

I'm wondering in this scenario what prevents the merchant from simply polling the API constantly with a differing list of registered apps, in an attempt to divulge the registered payment applications a user has. Would I be correct in assuming merchants couldn't invoke this polling until they called show?
