The elusive PaymentRequest API

The PaymentRequest API has been in the workings for 5 years but has not yet reached REC state.

However, there never was a need for a specific payment API on the Web, you rather need new Web primitives [*].  Now this topic has come back, but this time from the WG itself:
https://github.com/adrianhopebailie/modal-window/blob/master/explainer.md
         "the presented UI component could be useful for other use cases
           (e.g. authentication, sharing, access to third-party services) and an innovative use
           of the payment APIs (creation of a fake payment context) to demonstrate this is
           shown in this demo"

Thanx,
Anders
