+If no `assetTransferMethod` is specified in `PaymentRequired.extra`, clients should treat it as `"eip3009"` for backwards compatibility. Payment payloads that use a non-default transfer method should echo the selected `assetTransferMethod` in `accepted.extra`.
 
 In all cases, the Facilitator cannot modify the amount or destination. They serve only as the transaction broadcaster.
