Limitations for showing transaction data

[kseybold]

In the SPC spec I can't find any limitations for the displayName field. If it is already defined , where is it defined? If not, maybe it should be defined...

Regarding the current implementation in Chromium:

Whats the max length? Can the displayName be multiline?

We don't currently have limits set on PaymentInstrument.displayName or on any other field intended to be user visible in SPC, but we probably should have some guidance.

In general, the fields should all be viewed as short and specific pieces of information about the given item (whether thats the PaymentInstrument, the payeeName, etc). WebAuthn has similar strings, and has the following guidance section for user agents that includes the ability to arbitrarily truncate strings: https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#sctn-strings

To summarize, the agreed upon outcome was to build character limits into the spec, based on the 3DS protocol requirements as a starting point. I own putting together a PR for that, to be reviewed at a future WG sync.
