Whiteboard

We present a proposed first iteration of our Push Notifications API, including four use cases and a somewhat deep drive into some of the implementation details (internal APIs) that might be relevant or of interest to application developers. We'd like to receive comments about these use cases, or other use cases for the service, especially where aspects of the use case is not met.
