This is the first time I've heard of this standard and it looks interesting, but it doesn't seem like the payment processing is well standardized. I see in the W3C draft that the "Interledger Protocol" should be utilized, but looking at the wallet limitations (https://webmonetization.org/wallets/#limitations) it seems like there are no wallets that allow cross-wallet payments. Is that something thats planned in the future, or will wallets be allowed to lock down who can pay who?

still, the problem is people have to implement it and people have to assign wallets and the like. wrong idea for the problem at hand.

I guess the era of being able to leave a tab open without worrying about it is long over. Now you'll need to be careful to close every tab the moment you're done with it - perhaps after taking a screenshot of the page so you can read it more cheaply.
