The article says: “Mozilla plans to work with other vendors through the W3C to reach consensus on a common API that supports web payments in the best way possible. After shipping in Firefox OS, Mozilla plans to add navigator.mozPay() to Firefox for Android and desktop Firefox.”
I would add that those discussions at W3C should not only include “other vendors”, but also other stakeholders, internationally. This is a way too important topic to be in the hands of “vendors” alone.
Where specifically in W3C is this going to be addressed?

How is the issue of currency conversions addressed?
Note that the mozPay() API is centralized, which even folks at Mozilla will tell you is not ideal.
In what sense is it centralized? Locked to a single payment service provider?
