Web Payments FPWDs published -- seeking early PING review

Christine, Tara,

Today we announced FPWDs of the Web Payments Working Group:

   First Public Working Draft of Payment Request API Specifications
   https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5371

On behalf of the Web Payments Working Group, and per our charter [1]),
I’d like to ask for PING review of these early drafts:

 * Payment Request API
   http://www.w3.org/TR/payment-request/

   This specification describes a web API to allow merchants (i.e., web
   sites selling physical or digital goods) to easily accept payments
   from different payment methods with minimal integration. User
   agents (e.g. browsers) will facilitate the payment flow between
   merchant and user.

 * Payment Method Identifiers
   http://www.w3.org/TR/payment-method-id/

   This document defines payment method identifier strings so that
   components in the payment ecosystem can determine which parties
   support which payment methods.

 * Basic Card Payment
   http://www.w3.org/TR/payment-method-basic-card/

   This specification describes the data formats used by the Payment
   Request API to support payment by payment cards such as credit or
   debit cards.

We also announced a FAQ to go with the specs:
 https://github.com/w3c/webpayments/wiki/PaymentRequestFAQ

Please let me know if there is still an opportunity to introduce the
work at the 28 April PING call. Thank you,

Ian
