Summary

Adds support for <link rel="facilitated-payment" href="..."> as a hint that the browser should notify registered payment clients about a pending push payment.

Motivation

This feature lets the browser assist users in push-based payment flows by facilitating the transfer of payment information between the payment provider (on the payee side) and the payment client (on the payer side). The feature lays the foundation for payment integrators in streamlining push-based payment flows, towards a consistent and low-friction user experience.
