Please use the public-web-notification list for the Web Notifications
spec.
John - I think it would be helpful if you would include a note about
public-web-notification in the Status of Document section.

Hi All,
I've been playing with the webkit notifications API while creating a
chrome-extension. I wanted to raise my concern that I think
non-interactive notifications are unintuitive for some/most scenarios. I
understand that using HTML notifications you can add links/buttons so
the user can action a notification. I think HTML notifications are a
really bad idea as they will be inconsistent in both styling and user
experience.
I suggest that the notification API should allow users to add actions to
a notification that would consist of a Title & URL. This would leave the
browser/OS notification system to deal with the styling &
user-experience of the notification.
I would urge a reconsideration of the API.
All the best,
Jimmy
p..s as an Ubuntu user I'm constantly frustrated by the fact I can't
click on chat notifications etc (via NotifyOSD)
