Re: Auto closing of notifications

Applications can also register a window.onclose method to close any pending
notifications (gmail does this) if that's the behavior they want.

I don't think this addresses issues where the window itself crashes or is
shutdown due to memory constraints, however. It's not clear to me that we
*should* auto-close notifications - I suspect that there are arguments in
favor of keeping those notifications open (for example, if my calendar web
page crashes, should I really miss out on any notifications that were
displayed?)
