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
