RE: [higgins-dev] ICard getIssuer and getIssuerName - What's the diff?

We could even go further. Since the developer of any i-card provider can
always rely on there being a local Token Service available, there's no
reason that we can't require every ICard to implement ITokenCard. Thus we
could merge ITokenCard methods into ICard.
