Description

Originally submitted by dgtonge (Dave Tonge) on 2018-12-19

As mentioned previously I think that we should have a new document that provides a set of implementation guidelines for implementers of financial APIs.

This WG has a wealth of knowledge about what to do (and what not to do) when implementation financial APIs. Some of that knowledge doesn't fit in a standard spec but I believe that it should be captured.

I propose that we start a new document to document some of this knowledge, examples could include:

  • Payments, why these must be 2-stage and not 1-stage
  • Scopes vs lodging intent, the different methods available
  • Certificates, issues and best practice
