From our perspective as a PSP, we'd suggest a simpler approach: a basic-card like implementation of the exchange of address and bank data, allowing us to initiate the SEPA debit through our established platform (and handling all compliance issues on the way). I suppose this would be somewhere along the lines of [2], however, instead of a token the IBAN, payer's name and BIC would be sent off through an encrypted connection. This is the way most merchants have already implemented it their shops today without making use of the Payment Request API.
