[aerogear-dev] Beyond SimplePush's simplicity

[jr conlin]

FYI, Officially, the predecessor for SimplePush will be WebPush,
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/webpush/charter/
which runs on top of HTTP2
http://http2.github.io/

Unofficially, data is kind of a pain in the patootie, but obviously
really handy to have. There are security and privacy issues a-plenty
when dealing with data storage (HIPPA & subpoenas come to mind in the
US.) Internally, we're kicking around the idea of allowing data, but not
allowing storage, (so a device would only get data if it was actively
connected. If it was offline, it would only get the version number
update when it reconnected).

I'm also interested in what y'all come up with.
