Re: [w3c/webpayments-payment-apps-api] Multiple payment apps per origin (#98)

@dlongley,

This came up on the apps TF call today. I agree that we need more clarity on how this would be supported but I don't think we should call these "apps". Many of these option could technically be supported by a single web app.

I like your other comment that payment apps are effectively web apps that use some specific platform features that we are defining.

Personally I still like the idea of sticking with origin boundaries (and then using sub-domains if required) and providing options per origin (where each option has a label and icon).

@adamroach had some other ideas but I don't want to speak for him so will leave it with him to comment.

Consensus was that a payment app is identified by its origin (just like any other app on the Web platform), but that as a separate issue we need to ensure our "option" semantics support all the use cases we expect payment app developers to have.

Step 1 is gathering those use cases.
