>For example, if payment processing were in Payment.process() the Payment entity would need to be subtyped or composed for any of 1) a different payment gateway, 2) a sales tax in a new jurisdiction, 3) a new confirmation, or 4 a new payment flow. Having all that in your model entity is probably wrong.

There's nothing at all wrong with having, say, a PaymentGateway and SalesTax classes and composing them with Payment in whatever way makes sense given their interdependent relationships. Code that has real life analogs to objects tends to be much cleaner, in fact.
