AB: MC, you have an issue about the A+E? MC: yes; showNotifcation ... do we want this in a new spec? MH: BONDI module UI ... handles softkeys, vibration, etc. ... think showNot and getAttention should be defined together BS: could get DAP involved
I agree with this general reasoning — I encourage people to submit notifications as one of the requirements for DAP's "User Interaction API" (which is chartered to include "alerting mechanisms").
MC: since these APIs were removed from HTML5, a lot of the landscape has changed ... there may now be enough interest for HTML5 to take these back
Given that HTML5 is trying to get to LC within this decade, I doubt they'll accept that. The tendency is more to trim as many things out of the specification as they can find editors to sustain.
Arve: I don't think DAP is right, but WebApps is OK if HTML WG doesn't want them
