 The "x-taler-bank" wire format is used for testing and for integration with 
Taler's
 simple "bank" system which in the future might be useful to setup a bank

+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.
