Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I have to say we were proposing more a
general concept than a finished polished item, so there may be more of
these.

Because when I want to do something, say buy a CD, that is the functionality
that I am interested in. The fact that I am doing it in a secure way, and
perhaps that a transaction is running between the CD seller service, myself,
and the credit card service is all non-functional - it's orthogonal to the
business logic.
