I have no particular attachment to the name, but would prefer to be agnostic
as to the presentation for non-HTML notifications.  Leaving open the
possibility that a user-agent routes this API to a third-party text+icon
notification library, it's not a window and it's a different notion than
"load"; it's just the notification being displayed to the user.
