== Read NFC Travel cards. ==
Looks like a lot of folks want to read the information in their travel cards which can be read by native NFC apps and special NFC apps built for those cards. Internally they are using NDEF for maybe a handshake but reading/writing is being done using [IsoDep](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/nfc/tech/IsoDep) atleast for the travel cards in Finland. Supporting this use case means we have to implement `transceive(byte[])` and that will change the API shape a bit and also we might need to revisit our Permissions and Security model.

Let's harvest some protocols used in other countries, so that _if/when_ we decide to support this use case, we can make an informed choice.
