Re: [w3c/push-api] APA WG comment: ability to pause notifications (#259)

User agents provide the capability you describe already.  Can you further more justification for why you believe that applications need to be able to request this.  This could be used for a denial of service on other applications, so we'd need to understand more about how this would be controlled.

The linked email seems to say something else:

> For instance, a person may be reading an article’s comments and the comment feed is updated every 30 seconds to add additional comments. That may cause the layout to jump and the user may want to turn off the comment pushes, or slow down the update to once every minute.

I think that this demonstrates a misunderstanding of how the Push API fits with the other capabilities of the platform.  The kind of error that Ted describes here is unaffected by the existence of push.  Sites can commit this sort of usability mistake using fetch or websockets (and they frequently do in my experience).  Adding push, use of which is generally inadvisable in the scenarios described anyway, doesn't make this problem worse.
