        Do you think micropayment support should be built into browsers as a standard?

        Me too. Do you have a sense of why it’s taking so long? Does the web need to substantially break first?

        But there send to be tremendous resistance to paying that 20¢. Fear of unbounded quantity of payments? People like all you can eat.
