right and the URI, returned to the 'user agent' can be stored on your
'application', like UPS.

I wonder why I (being a device/user-agent) explicitly have to create that
channel.

ok, I see that a few extra 'creates' are needed, for multiple channels. But
what's the use case of a register without creating a channel? Just simply
to monitor on an existing or different channel ?

Not sure, but I think it might be useful to have an unmonitor, to quite the
abo of some content, e.g. at some point  #Rihanna might get boring :-)
Well, sue I can still 'ignore' it in my code of the service-worker, but
would be nice if that guy was no longer bothered :)

Or am I having a misunderstanding of the concept here ?
