I already have trouble imagining that there are mobile apps so badly 
made that it asks the user to transcribe the parking ref instead
of finding it by geolocation
but for those apps, it seems more convenient to me to use
payment:<appname>=<the number the app need>

<about a different ref for each payment method>

might ? of course ! but does this situation exist or it's it's purely 
fictional ?
of course we can put several ref:<target1> ref:<target2> on all parking 
of the planet just in case another entity would designate this parking 
lot with another ref... but if the majority of car parks have only one 
reference, their operator's ref, it seems to me to bring no advantage to 
use several ref:*=* over using ref=* without suffix and add suffixes 
only when necessary.
In this case, the suffix should be the same between the payment key
and the ref key like payment:sms=yes with ref:sms=*
not payment:sms=yes with ref:payement-by-sms=*

Marc
