Keeping in line with the design goals to enable Widget-related technologies to be used on the Web, I'm wondering if we should spawn a separate specification for notifications? We could use the current text in the A&E [1] as the basis, which is based heavily on what was originally in HTML5 (or just take the old HTML5 text, create the new spec, add the hooks for Widgets). Although notifications have been taken out of HTML5, rumblings that they may need reviving occurred recently on the WHAT-WG list: http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-March/019113.html As a followup to the above, the following code was submitted by Google to WebKit to support notifications: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25463 So, the question is: do we need a new/separate spec? One that covers both Web and Widgets? Kind regards, Marcos [1] http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/#the-shownotification-method-
