Actually, the system the consortium of retailers is working on should do exactly that, being QR Code based. All they need to do is write the app for both OSes, with the actual transaction taking place on the back end on a retailer's server (and without any third party getting a cut). How well it will work, and whether or not anybody will accept QR Code based stuff (finally) is another question, but their intent is pointed in the right direction.
