It is sad that the W3C spend resources on areas which already are owned by giant players instead of "simply" making on-line payments secure and convenient. I don't think you necessarily need a wallet for that, you rather need to nuke dated stuff like NSS since it blocks progress for numerous applications (including wallets). Local payments invoked through NFC could be written as web applications but what's the point with that if you have a powerful OS like Android at your disposal?
