Re: [push-api] Technique to Detect Endpoint Prior to register() (#95)

I have been thinking a lot about this issue lately, but I am not an expert in this field. But wouldn't it be possible to follow the IETF Web Push Protocol by adding a "relay server" and use this for the endpoint? 
This endpoint is provided by the user-agent and would have the Web Push protocol implemented and just forward the push messages to the actual push server. 
Once the push server implements the protocol itself, the endpoint could just change to use the actual push server and the relay server could shut down.

Correct me if I am wrong, but with this approach we could solve this issue of having to use multiple proprietary push services from the beginning on and therefore make it way easier to implement this feature right away without having to change it later as a developer.
