If that is the idea createHTMLNotification() should be on a separate  
supplemental interface that user agents on platforms that support HTML  
notifications can implement to make it clear it might not be available and  
that is somewhat separate. (Not sure whether I agree we need HTML  
notifications though, especially for v1.)
