With Notifications, it is different. In this model, you tell a website "please notify when something happens". The user typically isn't interacting a with the document at all. They may even be in another application or away from their device/computer. I do hope that the first notification isn't "this background application wants to ask you for permission to notify you when something happens". I didn't mean to imply that we should get rid of permissions altogether, just whether those functions apply only to Notifications, rather than generalizing it for any feature. I understand that because of the notification's visual nature, you don't want to send a test notification to see if you have permission, or to request it. Jon
