acceptedPaymentMethod should apply to businesses as well as Demands and Offers

[tommorris]

The acceptedPaymentMethod property currently only applies to Demands and Offers. The most common use case for acceptedPaymentMethod is likely to be to specify the payment methods accepted at a particular place of business rather than for a specific demand or offer.

This type of data is displayed on a lot of websites and is often used by people to determine whether they purchase from a given location or not, and as part of the practicalities of travel and living.

I've started documenting sites that publish this kind of information over on the microformats wiki: see payment-method-examples.

Oh, this one fell through the cracks. Sorry! Noticed thanks to @RichardWallis having fixed up a "make a PDF of your 100s of open issues" tool, and the red bug color jumped off the page.

I suggest adding Organization and changing the textual definition from "The payment method(s) accepted by seller for this offer." to something like "The payment method(s) that are accepted in general by an organization, or for some specific demand or offer."
