I think the remaining questions are 1) Do we still need a value for a state that does the "inheritance"? 2) Do we actually need the dir attribute on interface Notification at all? I guess the answer to the first question is "no" according to what you just said. This has the advantage that we don't need to work out all the inheritance logic and feedback 1. in my original mail gets resolved by itself. We also don't need to come up with a keyword for this state. I can't answer question 2. but if we are making analogy with alert() and confirm() my guess is that the answer is "no" as well?
