Hi Jean-Yves, There is no expectation that URL Payment Method Identifiers will be registered with W3C. The Web itself is the registry and people will learn about these identifiers through SDKs, search engines, and the usual ways. It could be that in the very short term, to help bootstrap the ecosystem, we provide some information about known PMIs on the developer portal. But I would not want to do that for very long (due to the potential for perception of bias, as well as the maintenance cost). We can discuss this further, but I think it has no bearing on the specification itself. Ian -- Ian Jacobs <ij@w3.org> https://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ Tel: +1 718 260 9447
