The webrtc WG has identified that the ability to notify, and possibly
wake up, a web application of incoming events is important. This to
enable support of use cases such as incoming calls. And in certain
scenarios the resource use (e.g. power) is very important.
However, this kind of functionality is not in scope of the webrtc WG,
but seems to belong to the Web Applications WG. So this is a message
that the webrtc WG is interested in seeing technology that supports this
being developed. We have also noted discussions in Web Apps around use
cases for connection-less push:

- especially the third one is very relevant for us.
Stefan and Harald (chairs) for the webrtc WG.
In the current charter proposal (which is under review at the moment) we
have
[[[
Server-Sent Events
An API for opening an HTTP connection for receiving push notifications
from a server in the form of DOM events. The API is designed such that it
can be extended to work with other push notification schemes such as Push
SMS.

I'm not sure if that is enough, sounds like you would like something more.
I think Bryan summarized quite well the other day what there is interest
in beyond Server-Sent Events.
In which case the best thing is to get people who are interested in
developing it to say so, through their review and in this working group.
Makes sense.
Thanks,
Stefan
