Hearing no objections from participants in the WG, the Call for Consensus carried, so I'm recording a WG decision to request transition of the Web Notifications spec to CR.

There are multiple shipping implementations of the WG’s spec of Notifications on desktop platforms, so it’s valuable to deliver a spec that describes what those implementations do. You may be right that this API was designed with desktop as the focus, but I think the door is completely open to future work on what would be appropriate on mobile.

The desire to add notifications to service workers is reasonable, and worth considering. That shouldn’t stop us from finishing up the current spec, which addresses common scenarios like the mail example Ted cited.
