Re: [w3c/webpayments-method-identifiers] SRI on manifest (#18)

> You probably don't want them in the URL, you want them on whatever initiates the request (e.g., fetch(request), <link> or whatever).

@marcoscaceres the challenge here is that all you have is the URL.

The scenario is this...

A payment request contains a payment method identifier that the browser has never seen before so it does a HEAD request on that URL and get's the location of the payment-method manifest. This can be empty or can contain information such as the payment apps that are allowed to handle requests for this method.

We could close this by saying; "The PMI spec requires that the manifest can be fetched securely so integrity checking is redundant" but I'm not sure if that is true?
