Re: [w3c/payment-handler] "Middleman Id/Commission %/Payeeer" provision (#335)

Hi @richardPAG,

I am hearing this (please correct me if I'm wrong):

  * The merchant and the payment method owner reach a private agreement about fees. 
  * The user pays the payment method owner. Then the payment method owner disburses
     money (T - fees) to the merchant. 
  
How this would work with payment request API would likely depend on the payment method.
For example, in the private agreement, the merchant might give the PMO the merchant's bank
account number, and the PMO could transfer "T - fees" on the server side. 

It is not yet clear to me that Payment Request API plays any special role here, but rather it is the payment method data and private arrangements that do the work. It also sounds like it's feasible
with the right payment method data and agreements.

Ian
