In addition to the text+icon functionality, this also enables scripted HTML notifications, to allow things like notifications that display number of unread emails, a dynamic countdown for an event reminder, etc. It sounds like enough people are prototyping in this area (us, mozilla jetpack, Palm) that we might get consensus on a general API at some point. -atw -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
