Can you imagine scenario where people willing to support your trip to 
London could *Transfer* for you very precise *Asset* - {number o air 
kilometers at certain aviation companies}? In the end you *seek* flight 
from one place to another place, which some of aviation services 
*makesOffer*. Nowadays you can take very popular path to arrange it by 
using some generic (~meaningless) tokens like ISO 4217 currencies. You 
could also choose to use instead/additionally some other tokens, 
including ones bound very directly to physical reality and carrying 
particular semantic meaning :)

Maybe interesting use case for 
https://web-payments.org/specs/source/payment-intents/ ? If you don't 
raise enough airkm to make it for that IETF event, promised *Transfers* 
would not complete!
