kenchris has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/web-nfc: == Get rid of special record == The special record was added initially as a way to improve security but it turned out not to add any real trust as native apps could fake it, but it still had usability in the sense of filtering. Also enforcing to only read NFC tags with the special record, severely limited the usefulness of Web NFC as it cannot be used for interacting with existing systems without modifications that might not be possible. It turns out that NDEF itself have a very similar mechanism, but on a per record basic (the message identifier) which we should use instead.
