-The resource identified by the [=payment method identifier=] URL does not directly contain the
-machine-readable [=payment method manifest=]. It is often a generic URL (such as
-"<code>https://alicepay.com/</code>") which is more suitable for human-readable content. Instead, a
-HTTP Link header is used to direct user agents seeking out the [=payment method manifest=] toward
-another location. [[RFC8288]]
+The machine-readable [=payment method manifest=] might be found either directly at the
+[=payment method identifier=] URL, or in a location indicated indirectly by following a HTTP
+`<code>Link</code>` header from that URL. [[RFC8288]]
+
+This potential indirection allows the use of generic, human-readable URLs (such as
+"<code>https://alicepay.com/</code>") to serve as [=payment method identifiers=], while still
+locating the actual [=payment method manifest=] at a different URL.
 
 For an example [=payment method=] AlicePay, with [=payment method identifier=]
-"<code>https://alicepay.com/</code>", a user agent might issue a request to that
+"<code>https://alicepay.com/</code>", a user agent would issue a GET request to that
 [=payment method identifier=] URL as follows:
 
 <pre>
-  HEAD / HTTP/2
+  GET / HTTP/2
   Host: alicepay.com
   User-Agent: Mellblomenator/9000
 </pre>
 
-The server would then respond:
+The server could then either respond with
 
 <pre>
   HTTP/2 204
   Link: &lt;/pay/payment-manifest.json>; rel="payment-method-manifest"
 </pre>
 
+to redirect the user agent to "<code>https://alicepay.com/pay/payment-manifest.json</code>", or
+could respond with the JSON contents of the payment method manifest directly in a
+<code>200</code>-status response.
