1) User must grant permission for site to send notifications (just like the GeoLocation API)
2) Once permissions is granted, notification can be displayed, preferrably with any HTML (yes, some people may put ads in there, add a “revoke privilages” button somewhere to control this, but rich notifications are a must for many reasons)
3) Notifications must have an onClick, onClose, onError event at the least.
4) Type of notification could be important too, such as ambient notification (user signed in to IM, new mail, etc., anything that disapears by itself after a few seconds) all the way up to the way alerts work in blocking access to anything else in the browser (or at least the tab that triggered the alert) until it is addressed.

For now, try using: http://people.mozilla.org/~dougt/notification2.html

Ubuntu decided that standard system and app notifications should not have an action button, with valid reasons. So I guess they would argue that websites should not have them either. Ask on that Ayatana mailing list if you want to be convinced to make the Web Notification API incredibly easy. :-)

I don’t think Ubuntu supports notification markup. It really should be pretty easy to create a notification there, with a single D-Bus call.
