This is more explicit than it used to be, while removing the assertion that there's only one. (Addressing Firefox' configuration option.) Does this address your concerns sufficiently, Charles?

chaals commented 7 years ago

Not really. It fails to mention the issue that a given push service may also be blocked by a firewall, and it still implies there can be only one.

I would suggest phrasing it in such a way as to clarify that user agents may restrict the number of push services, and may only offer those with which there is a pre-existing relationship, and then clarify the pros and cons (privacy/security, reliability, battery consumption).

ping?

@Beverloo @martinthomson can one of you respond to @Chaals' comments, so we can get this PR merged and the spec on its way? Thanks.

LJWatson commented 6 years ago

@Chaals if you feel strongly about this, please propose some concrete text that builds on your comments of Aug 22. Thanks.

martinthomson commented 6 years ago

I'm merging this, and I think that the ball is with @chaals. Happy to take a PR that clarifies this point, but I just don't have the time to write it myself.

Yup. Wrote that PR - #294
