Re: [w3c/browser-payment-api] Detecting Payment Method Availability (#316)

Apologies for the silence over the last couple of days

@dlongley - That might work, at least as an initial implementation, as it provides a way to drop through to a wider payment ecosystem (e.g. psp) if one exists.

However, as @mattsaxon mentioned on the call yesterday; it doesn't solve the re-integration problem. Anything that requires Merchants to update their webpages to make use of WebPayments is going to reduce the uptake of the functionality (.. based on my experience in getting them to make relatively minor changes to enhance their existing payment integrations!). Having a mechanism that allows the PSP to act as the integration point offers a frictionless way to bring this to a large audience in a (hopefully) short timeframe.

Maybe trying to use canMakePayment() for that is the wrong approach though
