But what if I don't want to use a mail client (like Thunderbird), but
Firefox? Then I guess I'm out of luck. There are web apps that don't
have a corresponding native client in the Desktop OS. I'll be out of
luck for those cases as well.
Another use case: I want to be subscribed (with Push (simple or
otherwise)) to 150 web apps, and not have the corresponding 150 native
apps (if they even exist) on my Desktop OS. One app (a Push client)
could replace the need for 150 native clients, but that would only work
if the Push protocol (simple or otherwise) sent some data together with
the notification, which would help me realize whether the particular
notification is worth clicking on or not.

This use case can easily be built on top of Simple Push. I think the
key to this is to understand that Simple Push has nothing to do with
what action the application takes when receiving a notification. Your
email application, for example, can decide if it wants to just update
its local database or if it wants to post a desktop notification.
thanks for looking over the spec.

My use case is this: PC desktop user, I want the browser to be closed, yet
still receive push notifications (incoming email, for example) and decide on a
case-by-case basis (by looking at the subject) whether I'll open the browser to
read the message or not. The key functionality here, is to be able to look at
the incoming mail's subject before opening the browser.
