[webkit-dev] Request for position on Badging API

[Ryosuke Niwa]

For the record, we have two concerns raised internally at Apple:
 * The integration of this API with push service worker would require
running scripts in order to update the badge. This will pose a serious
power consumption issue.
 * We don’t want every website to start using this API to increase
“engagement”.
