what should the wallet do if the webhook param was in the lnurl request but the first callback didn't contain the webhookAllowed param

@benthecarman Hmm yeah that would mean that the third party server is trying to use a feature that is not supported by the LNURL-pay service.
I think failing makes the most sense in that situation.

That should probably be specified

Indeed, I'll address this.

I submit this pull request in a friendly manner as an alternative to the LUD-22 proposal.
The reason is that I think that LUD-22 as it stands right now worsens the user experience in a way I don't think is sound, it does not feel LNURL-ish.
LUD-22 strips the user out of LNURL-pay and they're only given a BOLT11. Unfortunately due to the way BOLT11 and LNURL-pay works, the only thing they get is a payment hash.
In LUD-23, the user and the wallet would still experience LNURL-pay as they normally do without a webhook.
The user possibly also opt out of the sending the third party notification if the wallet software makes this option available for them (possible privacy benefit).
