Re: [w3c/browser-payment-api] "User accepts the payment request algorithm" needs to clarify where Payment Handlers are invoked (#476)

OK, sure... 2nd try.

In section 7.4, it states that the algorithm replaces steps 6 & 7 in Payment Request. I think this statement is brittle and should say something like this replaces section X in Payment Request.

I would recommend that the algorithm in [Payment Request in section 19.4](https://www.w3.org/TR/payment-request/#user-accepts-the-payment-request-algorithm) be updated to clearly show what is the responsibility of the "mediator" and what is the responsibility of the "payment app". I'd split this into 2 subsections myself, the one that pertains to Payment Apps can be referenced in the Payment Handler spec.

This wouldn't specifically need a Payment Handlers spec as the browser could fulfil both roles in my mind.

Currently is doesn't have these roles and is effectively written as a "form-filler". This is inappropriate for progression to CR status IMO.
