Web Payments API

Hey all,

The Web Payments Working Group charter[1] is out for review and things
are looking pretty good for the official formation of the group. The
deliverables section is a bit vague, so some of us at Digital Bazaar are
trying to put some meat on the technical proposals based on the
vision[2], use cases[3], roadmap[4], and charter proposal[1].

We've put together a very drafty technical proposal based on prior work
done in this group on the Web Commerce API and some of the payment
messaging work we've done. To be clear, this is a work in progress and
not the position of this CG or the IG (yet). We're doing the work in
this Web Payments CG since much of the source material comes from this
group.

Only section 3 and 4 are worth glancing at right now (understanding that
there is a lot of hand-waving going on in the details):

Just floating this out there for preliminary thoughts on direction
before we bring it in front of the Web Payments IG.
