That's what I thought it might mean. I therefore think that the term is being overapplied in criticism of the use cases. Specifically, when people complain about the NASCAR problem I think that they mean that they get repeatedly presented with a million little icons all the time and they're almost all irrelevant almost all the time. However, the use case document seems to flag any solution as having a NASCAR problem if you are ever presented with a list of choices, even once. Michael Williams identifies that this is avoided by remembering the choice made, which seems sensible, but it seems to me that if the web payments initiative is specifically designed to allow me to choose between many ways to pay, then actually giving me that choice is rather inherent to the process, isn't it? sil
