Our use cases show also that our scope goes beyond the browser. I would rather leave the above statement as-is rather than complicate it. However, I think it’s fine to add a new sentence. Do you have one to propose? It seems you want to address “offline” whereas I thought you might want to include “native mobile apps."

It would be good if the 'offline world' became more of in-focus now that web technology is making its way into non-open-Internet scenarios. The use cases clearly embrace such scenarios so I have no doubt that the intention will be understood by readers anyhow.

Implying that even though there are different wallet services and devices, they will all be consistent through the use of W3C standards... Wow - that's a lot just as an aside. Not wrong, but might be better understood with a bit more text on such implications.

I don’t interpret that as saying we expect payment instrument to equal wallet. Rather, I think we are avoiding referring to digital wallets or payment agents since that is the architecture that is the consequence of the use cases. Payment services exist (to the use cases) but
digital wallets don’t yet (they come later as a solution).

I'd always try to convince people to do it better, but denying legacy support might doom a good standard which still needs adoption.
