I do not quiet agree with the current standards, they are a pain in the
neck. E.g ( Just one example ) I want the internet debit card and the
devices for charging them to be standard hardware available in any computer
store. This will allow one to chose any bank or service provider ( instead
of your money going proprietory ): imagine buying a new modem or router
every time you change ISPs or buying different kinds of printers for
printing from different web sites. That is the position of debit card
recharging buying a new device each time you change the service provider.
The IETF can help or do you hold alternative views ( give me some
recharging devices that allow change overs )??
Yours sincerely,

There is an ANSI Financial Standards body (X9) which is also chair of the
ISO Financial Standards group.
The electronic commerce payments working group (X9A10) has a draft standard
for all electronic retail payments (debit, credit, pre-paid, electronic
cash, etc) .. X9.59.
