One of the things provided by X9.59 is that it is privacy/anonymous neutral at
point-of-sale &/or merchant webserver ... and in fact, with AADS accounts for
hardgood shipments ... an X9.59-like protocol for address-authorization
transaction... similar to X9.59 for payment-authorization ... not only
eliminates name/address from the payment transactions at a webserver ... but can
also eliminate the name/address at merchant webservers.
merchant webservers get accounts ... for payments by financial institutions ...
and accounts for name/address by shippers (i.e. policing name/address privacy at
a couple dozen shippers is much simpler than policing name/address privacy at 20
million merchant webservers).
