Re: [web-nfc] NFC for access management aka Hotels rooms ? (#356)

We should vet the use cases.

I wonder if the above mentioned companies would be willing to give up their apps that 1. may collect more data than a web page and 2. which allow them to own the whole solution, whereas with Web NFC a part of the solution is implemented in the browser. 

However, it's far easier to update a web page than an app. Solution makers could use the Web NFC API and still implement their protocols for `transceive()`, only there would be much less code to write, provided we can offer all the features needed. On that I have some doubt as well, as we've been trying to simplify the native NFC APIs a bit.

On the other hand, apps could be scrutinized much more by the app store than a web page, besides it's far easier to take off an offending app than a trapping web page. Of course, origin policy and proper permissions should alleviate some concerns.
