The chair of the working group seems interesting in including anonymous token-based payment systems in the standard, "I see no reason, other than interest, for the group to avoid non-account-based payment systems, to complement the account-based payment systems that we are now in the process of standardizing."
I see a damn good reason. X.9 is meant to be fast tracking credit card payment mechanisms. They are not meant to be going out solving every problem in the universe. They could attempt to standardise non account payment systems after they have done the problem they were given. Phill
