That in no way obstructs progress on the WHATWG’s work, which appears to focus on persistent, service worker based notifications. This WG’s spec, in accordance with the charter, only covers notifications from a locally running web app. The two specs have different use cases, so there’s no reason for them to be in direct conflict. In fact, there are native platforms that have APIs for both local and push notifications, including OS X and iOS. So the specs are not incompatible, and there’s no obvious reason we can’t do both. “Someone else is doing something different but somewhat related” is not a valid argument to stop our work.

Apparently you have still not been reading my comments. The WHATWG
supports both persistent and "toast-like" notifications (the latter
through new Notification()), but has removed a number of events. The
WHATWG has also simplified the processing model somewhat.

Actually, you have to address substantive comments. Whether you
recognize them coming from members of your WG (which I thought were
organizations, not individuals) or as members of the public.
