Hi Adrian,

I don't disagree with what you write but my core claim was simply that
there's nothing specific to implement "inside of Chrome" to cite Zack,
in order to support credit transfers and similar push scenarios.

If this is wrong, it might be useful trying to describe what's missing as
a first step. Well, maybe that's completely obvious to everybody but me?
