Some developers using Chrome notifications have said that they would like to be able to control the size of the notification bubble from the application. The use case here is a meeting reminder with potentially a lot of information (location, people attending, etc.) that the application wants to make available at a glance inside the notification. It would certainly be difficult (perhaps impossible) to apply a size request to text+icon notifications which are being displayed through a platform notification service, but might apply to HTML notifications. I have concerns that arbitrary sizing decided by the application would move notifications beyond the primary goal of passive alerting, but wanted to ask the WG about it -- other thoughts on how to address this use case? A possible alternative would be a resize() method that could only be invoked on a user gesture, so a notification could be expanded on click.
