I just wonder why the processors aren't doing some of these kind of things themselves. Most of them dont even require an email acknowledgement or activation. I think you'd eliminate some of the bullshit if you'd just require the users to click an activation link in their email prior to inserting the username/password into the site.

processors aren't doing it because they are useless ... LOL
like you said, it all depends on how easy it is and the idea of clicking a link in a confirmation email is also an excellent way to do the approval. the good thing about this system however is that is has the extra step of using something *other* than your pc to confirm the transaction.
on one hand this might make it a bit slower but on the other hand, you CAN'T argue that someone stole your credit card, computer AND your cell or land telephone line.
while there are still a few things to be ironed out with the system, it is to be expected when so many countries are supported ... over the coming months the details will be refined and visa can stick their 1% chargebacks and their support of friendly fraud up their collective asses!
