Oh, one more thing :)
SimplePush (JavaScript) API was developed for the FirefoxOS, and the
(Firefox) desktop browser.
The SimplePush Server/Protocol is used as the "Push Network" for
devices/browsers that support the SimplePush API.
Example:
Once Mozilla launches FirefoxOS (w/SimplePush), some "SimplePush server
implementation", deployed somewhere in the cloud (transparent to the FFOS
device), will be used as the "Push Network" for the FFOS device.
I guess, that explains why I do prefer "SimplePush" for variant and
PushNetwork.
But I am not a native speaker, so I see a room for confusion here :-)
PS: The SimplePush Server would be the same as the APNs server (but there
is no public spec for that, so we could not write our own APNs - not sure
that now makes sense

SimplePush was invented for FireFoxOS.
But... we extend to all browsers, w/ out polyfill...
Web could be used, but I prefer SimplePush.
However, not that picky, nor interested to fight for it, over countless
mails :-)
So, feel free to use Web :-) I guess I don't have too strong ferlings
against "web"
