Re: General objection regarding Web NFC

Hi Anders,

How is this any different to the Geolocation API which is widely used and
has been for many years?
http://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API/

I agree with your assertion that there is a need for a generic native-Web
bridge but that shouldn't prevent specialised API's for access to device
hardware from being developed should it?

I would encourage this group to work closely with the Web Payments IG,
specifically with regards to the payments use cases they are dealing with.
