Re: ePassport eMRTD

Hello,

In principle, Web NFC supports exposing NFC data in all cases when the
underlying platform can encapsulate it as NDEF messages.

However, the W3C Web NFC Group [1] charter [2] does not include this
particular, or similar use cases in scope. Also, since this is a critical
security use case, I doubt it is possible to establish proper (as defined
by governments) testing in the frame of a W3C Community Group.

So the answer is,
- if you can do an implementation that encapsulates the NFC protocol and
provides NDEF messages, then yes, the feature can be supported
- you are on your own on how to implement this encapsulation
- end to end testing, including security conformance is out of scope
- - if you need changes to the API in order to support this use case, we
can discuss that: please make a proposal in a github issue (just file an
issue).
