Dear List,

I would like to finish [I really mean it :-)] my review of the Web NFC CG with the remark
that the Web NFC tag and accessing NFC from [untrusted] Web-pages most certainly is of
*huge general interest* while the implementation of NFC support in WebOSes is not [1].

I fear that this mixing of duties has led to somewhat odd priorities where Web payments
seem to have gotten a tiny space with no visible "champions" in spite of the fact there are
hundreds of people subscribed to various W3C payment initiatives.

Anders

1] It would of course not be problem keeping this part of the project in the CG, but
   it should be separated from the "generic" part which should be OS-independent.
