Re: [w3c/browser-payment-api] Should a payment app identifier (URL) or a payment method identifier (URL) resolve to a machine readable resource that describes it? (#46)

I believe that any resource pointed to should only be explanatory (e.g. pointing to an appropriate URL about the web payments API). There should be no sense that the URL owner has any additional powers over that payment method than ownership of that particular URL gives them. My reasoning is that for decentralized currencies like bitcoin, there is no one central domain name that would be seen as representing bitcoin (e.g. the traditional choice bitcoin.org is now owned by figures who are quite controversial in the bitcoin community). It might be tempting for these to be given a URL directly owned by the working group, which again indicates that there should be no additional power associated with ownership of the URL.
