Subject: [w3c/webpayments-payment-apps-api] Renaming PaymentApp* classes (#109)


Now that we've renamed to our specification to Payment Handler API, I think it would make sense to not name our classes starting with PaymentApp. I don't think it's super elegant to just rename everything to PaymentHandler*, so I'm looking at alternatives. The first classes I wanted to consider was the following:

5.2 PaymentAppManager interface

5.3 PaymentAppOptions interface

5.4 PaymentAppOption dictionary

5.5 PaymentWallets interface

5.6 WalletDetails interface

I think PaymentAppManager can just become PaymentManager, but PaymentAppOptions can not be renamed to PaymentOptions, as that would cause a name conflict with a class in the Payment Request API specification.

When talking about digital payments, one often talk about a digital wallet containing a set of digital payment instruments. So, how about PaymentInstrument? I realize it's a term with very specific meaning, but I think that it actually fits quite well here.

I would also suggest renaming WalletDetails to be consistent with the other names, so that we would end up with the following set of classes:

5.2 PaymentManager interface

5.3 PaymentInstruments interface

5.4 PaymentInstrument dictionary

5.5 PaymentWallets interface

5.6 PaymentWallet interface

WDYT?
