Re: [web-nfc] Support ISODep

@cyberphone We are just looking for using ISO 7816 contactless cards.
To be able to send ISO7816 APDU commands like on Android.
They propose a simple API that is enough for this standard.
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/nfc/tech/IsoDep.html

ISO7816 has to be seen as a way to communicate to devices like any other protocol of communication. People can do whatever they want with it and the purpose is limited to the type of device they have in front. If you restrain people from having access to ISODep but let them NFC, you will probably create a new type of NFC device that will handle non "standard" NFC command tagged as ISO7816 and converted to APDU commands by the card at least it is what I would do.

>Personally my biggest concern is support for NFC in standard PCs. There's no important application out there using NFC and Web NFC won't change that in its current incarnation.

I also want it. But why not give access to ISO7816 since the web-NFC use it to communicate ?
NFC is not secure, don't you want to give the choice to people to be able to have secure ISO7816 device ?
