Web Payment Request Spec Proposal

Here is a rough prototype for what a Web Payment Request standard could
look like. This is a spec that the browsers or user agents would implement,
and websites could call. Importantly it is a standard that could support
all types of payment schemes without the schemes having to change or
implement anything.

(It is implemented as a Chrome extension now but ideally some of that
functionality would be handled by the web browser natively)

This is a small subset of what the IG has been discussing but it is a very
simple spec that could address some of the problems the group is interested
in solving. Its scope is intentionally small and restricted to a retail use
case on the Web.

Comments, issues, questions, and pull requests are very welcome!

Looking forward to hearing your feedback,
Evan

PS This was the written proposal that underlies the thinking that went into
this prototype:
