Re: [w3c/browser-payment-api] PROPOSAL: Payment Method Identifiers taking advantage of URL characteristics (#205)

I don't think this is what we want.

The rationale behind using URLs for identifiers, as I understand it, is to allow for decentralized allocation of identifiers without an authoritative registry. This only works if the identifiers are scoped in some way to the entity performing the allocation. If we ignore the hosts during matching, then we will easily end up with different entities defining different mechanisms and assigning them IDs that match per your proposed rules.
