I made the abstract pretty clear that it is about end-user notifications: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/notifications/raw-file/tip/Overview.html I don't care much for the name (if it was up to me it would just be "Notifications" :-)) but if you do a search on Google you'll find that "Web Notifications" is the de facto term for end-user notifications. The Working Group also caries that name. We could name the HTTP-based one "network notifications" or "HTTP notifications" maybe. -- Anne — Opera Software http://annevankesteren.nl/ http://www.opera.com/
