The only thing we need to do is ensure that arbitrary payees can be placed into a listing. At a later point, we can introduce a listing that allows transclusion, which would effectively just have one listing reference a set of other listings. Those other listings would have to have a special "allowTransclusion" payeeRule: https://web-payments.org/specs/source/vocabs/payswarm.html#Listing To process a transclusion-based listing, a payment processor would process all listings referenced and produce a final price based on the composed listing. So we have a pretty solid technical plan, but until we have a basic Web payments mechanism, working on this is premature. :) -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: The Worlds First Web Payments Workshop http://www.w3.org/2013/10/payments/
