webext wallet uses:
* Digital cash transfer
* send money "to another wallet"
* Transfer (label for the transaction)
* Digital cash invoice

Android:
* "push payment" (no p2p)
* "receive funds" then "invoice another wallet"
* "send funds" then "to another wallet" (next dialog "send money")
* "request payment" / "create invoice"

iOS:
* payment request
* P2P
* request money

- IMO push and pull payments are internal terms, not useful for public consumption ;-).
- P2P payments is an "industry" term, also not ideal for users.
- Invoice is a legal term, not all pull payments are invoices, thus sub-optimal
- Digital cash transfer is unclear as to the direction; and "Digital" is redundant-ish.
- "send funds" + "to another wallet" and "send money" + "to another wallet" are both good, "money" is better ("funds" is more complex language)
- "receive money" + "from another wallet" would be a natural dual to "send money" + "to another wallet" (symmetry is good)

In summary, I would propose we use a mixture of all of the above:
- "send money" + "to another wallet" and
- "receive money" + "from another wallet".

These are unambiguous, short formulations using easy language and also perfectly symmetrical. The 2nd stage should then be combined with the choices "to a bank account" and "from your bank account" to address withdraw + deposit use-cases (as done by AFAIK WebEx and Android).

dae8e91d..13345912 updates the spec in light of this bug. There is likely more, but we need to make general progress on *implementing* DD53 before we can spec more.
