The "x-taler-bank" wire format is used for testing and for integration with

+for a local / regional currency or accounting system. Using ``x-taler-bank``
wire method in combination with the Taler's bank, it is thus possible to
fully test the Taler system without using "real" currencies. The URL
format for "x-taler-bank" is simple, in that it only specifies an account
number and the URL of the bank:
- * payto://x-taler-bank/BANK_URI/ACCOUNT_NUMBER
+::
-The account number given must be a positive 53-bit integer. As with
+ payto://x-taler-bank/BANK_URI/ACCOUNT_IDENTIFIER
+
+The account identifier given must be a non-empty alphanumeric ASCII string.
As with
any payto://-URI, additional fields may be present (after a ?), but
are not required. The BANK_URI may include a port number. If none is
-given, @code{https} over port 443 is assumed. If a port number is
-given, @code{http} over the given port is to be used. Note that this
+given, ``https`` over port 443 is assumed. If a port number is
+given, ``http`` over the given port is to be used. Note that this
means that you cannot run an x-taler-bank over @code{https} on a
non-canonical port.
-Note that a particular exchange is usually only supporting one
-particular bank with the "x-taler-bank" wire format, so it is not
-possible for a merchant with an account at a different bank to use
-"x-taler-bank" to transfer funds across banks. After all, this is for
-testing and not for real banking.

-The "x-taler-bank" method is implemented by the @code{taler_bank} plugin.
