Adding a level of indirection lets you go to B+1, B+2, etc and you only need
to teach one entity (the 'middleware') to translate. (yeah yeah, old
argument).
Also, coordinating with company X - one you don't know even exists - might
be nice.

From your experience and thoughts, are anonymous transactions even feasible
or desirable in the business world?
