Re: [push-api] Broadcast, Multi-Cast, or Topic messages via the Push API (#188)

The Push API assumes use of the Web Push Protocol, which doesn't support these features yet either. There is some interest in enabling 1:M messaging, but mandatory encryption of payloads makes it challenging to support this for anything other than tickles.

The requirement to display a notification is a decision by some user agent (e.g. Chrome) and has no foot in the specification other than the `userVisibleOnly` option. Other than that, your examples actually seem like cases where you would want to show a notification.
