Re: [w3c/webpayments-method-identifiers] Why URLs? (#9)

>By "without having to interact with the W3C", I presume you're trying to say something like "without having to go through an annoying/arduous beaurocratic process that takes a nontrivial amount of time". There's no reason it has to be like that! A registry can literally just be a text file in a well-known location that your group updates on request - it's a 5-minute email/edit/commit process. You don't have to publish a new spec version every time you update a registry.

That may work as well -- can you give an example of somewhere else the W3C has done this? I got the impression from conversations with @dontcallmedom (in the context of `getUserMedia()` constraints) that the mode of operation you describe was disfavored by the W3C staff; but the objections may have been specific to the facts of that case. Precedent would probably go a long way to assuaging any such concerns.
