         <h2 id="scope">Scope</h2>
 
-        <p>A payment, on the Web today, ordinarily starts on a payment page where the <strong>payer</strong> must
-            manually select a <strong>payment scheme</strong>, manually select their own <strong>payment instrument</strong> for that
-            payment scheme, manually capture the details of that instrument into the page (along with any other
-            essential data such as a shipping address) and then submit this data back to the <strong>payee.</strong> The
-            payment data briefly passes through the Web (from the payer's user agent to the payee's server) on its way
-            to a payment processor. At that point, much of the communication to complete a payment takes place among
-            banks, card networks, and other parties in the payment ecosystem typically outside of the Web.</p>
+        <p> Fragmentation of the payment landscape is limiting the
+   full potential of the Web, including lack of standards in areas
+   such as:</p>
 
-        <p>Various parties have innovated ways to simplify this flow, for example by caching payment instrument information in browsers, registering users on eCommerce
-            websites to facilitate re-use of customer data and/or payment credentials (increasingly through the use of
-            tokenization), and even developing new payment schemes. Unfortunately, these efforts suffer from a lack
-          of standardization in areas such as:</p>
 	<ul>
 	  <li>the high level flow of a Web payment;</li>
 	    <li>the programming interfaces between the
             various parties (such as between user agent and Web application);</li>
 	    <li>the messages exchanged between these
               parties over the Web.</li>
-	    </ul>
-	      <p>The result is that users are led through entirely different flows every time they make a payment on the Web.</p>
-
-          <p>To reduce this fragmentation, this Working Group will create open Web standards for the programming interfaces in and out of the Web context. This
-	    will increase
-            interoperability between payer and payee systems (for existing and future payment schemes), and encourage
-            greater automation of the steps in a typical payment. The programming interfaces between the payment schemes and the Web
-            are usually at the user agent and the Web application, therefore the scope of the initial charter is focused
-            on the interactions between these two components and the external actors that will interface directly with
-          them. <strong>Note:</strong> These standards may also prove useful in a "native" application context, but this group is not focused on that use case.</p>
+	</ul>
 
-        <p>The group will focus primarily on standardization of a set of messages and a message flow for the initiation,
-            confirmation and completion of a payment. By focusing on the message format and flow, the group leaves open
-            the standardization of the delivery mechanism for these messages as this will vary depending on the use case
-            and technology stack. To support use cases where messages are proxied between payer and payee using
-            different technologies, the group will standardize delivery mechanisms for common scenarios. This
-            will include WebIDL APIs for the use cases where the messages are proxied between payer and payee via a Web
-            browser or Web APIs where the messages are exchanged directly over the Web between two online entities in

+		<h3 id="digital_wallets">Relation to Digital Wallets</h3>
+
+
+		<p> This Working Group intends to create a standard
+  programming interface from the Web to a payer's digital wallet so that someone
+  with a conforming digital wallet can seamlessly make payments with a
+		  conforming application running in a conforming user agent.</p>
+
+		<p> The "digital wallet" concept means different
+  things to different audiences so we include a definition to clarify
+		  the intent of this group:</p>
+
+		<dl>
+		  <dt><strong>digital wallet</strong></dt>
+
+		  <dd> A digital wallet is a software service that provides
+      similar functions in the digital world to those provided by a
+      physical wallet, namely:
+      <ul>
+       <li>It holds and allows access to <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-web-payments-use-cases-20150416/#dfn-payment-instrument">payment instruments</a> registered by the payer.</li>
+      <li>It provides logic to support certain payment schemes and enables the payer to use registered payment instruments to execute a payment in accordance with the rules and processes of that scheme.</li>
+      <li>It may hold digital assets, in the form of one or more account balances, that can be used to make payments.</li>
+      </ul>
+		</dl>
+		
+		<p>This group is not developing standards for loyalty
+   schemes and coupons, digital receipts, digital credentials,
+   tickets, and location services.  Future W3C activities may seek to
+   increase interoperability of these additional digital wallet
+   capabilities.</p>
+
+		<p>The group may define APIs that will also be used
+   outside of a user agent context, such as between Web services, or
+   from within a native application (where the browser is not the
+   proxy between digital wallet and payee application).</p>
+
+	<h4>On Multiple Digital Wallets</h4>
+
+	  <p>In the design of these standards, the Working Group will not assume that each user has only one digital wallet. In this charter, the phrase "the payer's digital wallet" is shorthand for "the payer's digital wallet(s)" as the payer may have multiple digital wallets.</p>
+
+	   <p>The Working Group may consider the use case where an aggregation service acts as a more sophisticated digital wallet service or provides a wider choice of payment solutions to the payer. For example, the aggregator service might combine the functionality of multiple digital wallet services, or apply more complex algorithms to discover and collect the set of payment
+            instruments available to the payer.</p>
 
         <h3 id="security">Security and Privacy Considerations</h3>
 
-        <p>Security is obviously critical in payments. While the initial work of the group will leave much of the
-            required security and authentication (e.g., encryption and digital signatures) to payment schemes, it is important to ensure that any additions to
-            the Web platform are secure and tamper-proof. The ability to manipulate any message in a payment flow has
-            potentially massive financial impact. Therefore the ability to prove message integrity and authentication of
-          all message originators should be a key consideration for any work done by the group.</p>
-
-	<p>The Working Group will consider how existing payment
-schemes address security requirements. In addition, W3C is developing
-additional security-related specifications in other groups.  This
-Working Group will follow that work to help ensure compatibility with
-the payment flow standards described in this charter. In particular,
-this group may consider the role of hardware-based solutions in
-securing transactions, and the role of hardware devices in
-authenticating users via biometry or other mechanisms.</p>
-
-	        <p>Protection of the privacy of all participants in a payment is essential to maintaining the trust that payment
-            systems are dependent upon to function. Any payment process defined by the group should not require
-            disclosure of private details of any of the participants' identity or other sensitive information without
-		  their explicit consent. The design of any public facing API
-should guard against the unwanted leakage of such data through
-exploitation of the API.</p>
-
-        <h3 id="wallets">Relation to Wallets</h3>
-
-        <p>The standards from this group may be implemented in a variety of ways, including within stand-alone Web or
-            native applications, within applications in the Cloud, within user agents such as Web browsers, or in the
-            form of user agent extensions or plug-ins. Some of the capabilities provided by the standards from this
-            group can be found in today's digital wallets and various other Web services. Because the "digital
-            wallet" concept is useful as a shorthand, but means different things to different audiences, this charter
-            includes the following definition to clarify the intent of this group.</p>
+	<p>Security is obviously critical in payments.</p>
 
-        <p>In this charter we define a <strong>wallet</strong> as a software service, providing similar functions in the
-            digital world to those provided by a physical wallet, namely:</p>
-        <ul>
-            <li>It holds and allows access to payment instruments registered by the payer.</li>
-            <li>It provides logic to support certain payment schemes and enables the payer to use registered payment
-                instruments to
-                execute a payment in accordance with the rules and processes of that scheme.
-            </li>
-            <li>It may hold digital assets, in the form of one or more account balances, that can be used to make
-                payments.
-            </li>
-            <li>It may enrich the payment flow by implementing business logic for loyalty, coupons, ticketing or other
-                function that is complementary to its payment capabilities.
-            </li>
-        </ul>
-          <p>This group is not developing standards for all digital wallet capabilities: this charter's scope is limited to payment flow capabilities. At the same time, this definition of wallet is not intended to constrain W3C's future activities. Indeed, W3C anticipates a rich ecosystem of eCommerce and payment
-            functionality on the Web, including loyalty schemes and coupons, digital receipts, digital credentials, location services, marketing
-            additions, and more. Some of this functionality may be provided by a digital wallet, or by other services
-            available to the payer. This charter does not seek to preclude those additional services, and in the future
-            W3C may look for opportunities increase the interoperability of such services. The wallet metaphor appropriate to this charter may change in future charters or may be dropped if no longer relevant.</p>
+	<p>For the APIs defined by this group, a key consideration is
+ the ability to prove message integrity and authentication of all
+ message originators. This group will work with the organizations
+ listed in the liaisons section of the charter to help ensure API
+ security.</p>
 
-        <p>This Working Group intends to create a standard interface from the Web to a payer's wallet so that someone with a
-            conforming wallet can seamlessly make payments with a conforming application running in a conforming
-            user agent. The group may define APIs that will also be used outside of a user agent context (such as
-            between
-            Web services, or from within a native application, where the browser is not the proxy between wallet and
-          payee application).</p>
-
-	<h4>On Multiple Wallets</h4>
+       <p> There are other aspects of security (e.g., authentication
+ of payer identity) that this group will leave to the payment schemes.
+ This group will not define authentication standards (e.g.,
+ hardware-based solutions in securing transactions, or authenticating
+ users via biometry or other mechanisms) but should be aware of
+ industry developments to help ensure compatibility with the flows
+ defined by this group.</p>
 
-	  <p>In the design of these standards, the Working Group will not assume that each user has only one wallet. In this charter, the phrase "the payer's wallet" is shorthand for "the payer's wallet(s)" as the payer may have multiple wallets.</p>
