Colleagues: This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group on our review of the draft Push API specification as detailed below. Our review of this specification was expressly requested by the Web Platforms Working Group: https://www.w3.org/TR/push-api/ <Begin Draft Comment> The Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group has reviewed the Push API specification at: https://www.w3.org/TR/push-api/ We find no issues with the API as presented, except that we believe additional feature support is required by emerging use cases. Missing Feature We require a mechanism whereby applications may temporarily block any push notifications or events. All such notifications or events should be queued until the application requesting temporary blocking has cleared the blocking request. We offer two use cases requiring such a feature. Use Case #1 A user engaged in a financial transaction at the point of making (or recieving) payment should not be interrupted by unrelated notifications and events. This is especially important for persons with disabilities relying on assistive technology, but is also relevant to all users of emerging web payments specifications. Use Case #2 Users need the ability to interact with certain web content without automated updates that might cause presented content to update in an adverse manner. This might be satisifed by allowing temporary pauses in push events, or by controlling a minimum time interval between push events. For more on this use case see the comment at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2017May/0026.html <End Draft Comment> * ACTION TO TAKE This CfC is now open for objection, comment, as well as statements of support via email. Silence will be interpreted as support, though messages of support are certainly welcome. If you object to this proposed action, or have comments concerning this proposal, please respond by replying on list to this message no later than 23:59 (Midnight) Boston Time, Tuesday 23 May.
