Re: The Payments Architecture within which a Web Payments Architecture occurs

Missing from this list is publication of X12 in 1982. See
http://www.x12.org/x12org/about/X12History.cfm

X12 defines various messages surrounding payments, and a census of them,
just to verify that a contemplated replacement can represent them all, as
well as using their industry-standard names such as "payment advice", would
make sense in an enumeration of use cases.

X12 is still going strong for large B2B communications, although parsers
seem to be rarely implemented using the stream-oriented features implied by
the data format, which was, after all, designed to work with hardware
available in the 1970s.  <brag> A few years ago I wrote a stream-oriented
X12 parser for a client whose huge incoming transaction groups representing
all packages shipped in the previous year ran their "mapper" out of memory.
