TLDR Sorry for the long delay in responding but the chromium folks need to delay slight longer before giving a response.

I thought I saw some patch there) and I don't think any other browser wants to support them. However other browsers are supporting text notifications. There are some Chromium extensions that potentially use them, so that creates some trouble for us to remove them but it doesn't necessarily make it impossible. > On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 10:25 PM, Jon Lee <jon...@apple.com> wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > I've removed support for HTML notifications on the Mac via > http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/105086.

We're working as fast as we can and making progress in reaching a consensus -- thanks to Jian Li -- (but have been slightly slowed down by the snow fall up here in the Seattle are which has made our communications). Personally, I'd like to get rid of them BUT that decision isn't up to me, so we need a few more days to talk to people and come up with an appropriate course of action. (If we want to get rid of it, we'll likely need to leave it in for a bit to give users a little time to transition off of it.) (Hopefully the snow will melt shortly and it will make people more accessible.) dave
