Re: VOTE: Adopt Web Commerce API as work item?

I have some questions for the spec.

from the list of mechanisms requesting payment,
the spec mentions only "POST" which means webapp will lost control of app
operation.

if the payment vendor use DOMRequest, XHR, windows.postMessage or other
transmission mechanisms,
we can expect some conflict with spec.

mountie.
