Re: [w3c/payment-handler] Why does a Payment App need to see the line items? (#91)

> What do you think of the slightly more generic proposal where the merchant can simply authorize sharing of whatever line items they want with the user?

This shifts the burden of responsibility to the user, which is unfair because they won't understand that they payment handler could then take their purchase information and sell it to insurers, marketeers, law enforcement, and other unauthorized third parties.

Hopefully not. But it would limit things to share that are in the domain of the payment handlers... things related to the payment. The payment handler has no business knowing what items a user purchased (or at least, we shouldn't make it their business as it's ripe for abuse from a privacy perspective).
