It seems terrible if we take the existing constraints of those push
backends. If developers had to register their site with each of them
to get a working solution. And then if you came along with a new piece
of hardware with a different push backend you'd have to convince the
long tail of web sites to upgrade to adapt to your backend. That does
not work.

The proposal the draft has today where browser hands out a URL for you
to ping from your server after the user has consented seems fairly
sane. It would be great to hear what the problems are with that
approach from Google et al.

The web is a distributed platform, we should not tie its APIs around a
couple of vendors that are relevant today.
