I really like the idea of presenting the security confirmation UI in the same way that the notifications themselves will be present (as depicted at the link below). In some sense, its a notification that the site would like to notify you about things. This presentation should save a lot of text explaining what you're authorizing. This also mitigates the "OK button appears under the cursor" attacks if the user doesn't have their browser window maximized.
You might also consider an "I hate notifications and never want sites to be able to use this feature" button in the confirmation UI that globally disables the feature.
