Declarative Web Push seems like a beneficial addition, simplifying push notification integration. The declarative approach aligns well with modern web development. However, I'm curious about the performance implications compared to the existing API and how much flexibility developers might lose with this higher-level abstraction.

It reduces notification display latency because they can be displayed directly by the system services managing push, without having to wait for an opportune time to fire up a service worker process. It does still allow customizing the notification with code, but even in that case, having the declarative notification as a fallback improves reliability.
