Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Digital Goods API (#571)

Thanks, the use cases are much clearer now.

It looks like this could potentially be very good for enabling smaller/independent creatives (artists, writers, musicians, designers, etc) to have stores that aren't the existing mainstream ones. A diversity of digital goods stores would likely necessitate aggregation/search/discovery/similar services, which would tie into the stores using this API.

To what extent have you considered this use case, and is there anything in the design that would make this explicitly difficult?

The explainer notes "sites using the proposed API would still need to be configured to work with each individual store they are listed in" - what would this mean for an ecosystem of many diverse digital goods stores? What sort of configuration are we talking about?

I see reference to the Play and Samsung stores; do you have other expected major store implementers like Apple, Kindle, Spotify, etc?

Finally, some concerns about the name, because it's so general. Maybe "Digital Goods Lookup/Listing"?
