+#NotifyNotification represents a passive pop-up notification. It can
+contain summary text, body text, and an icon, as well as hints specifying
+how the notification should be presented. The notification is rendered
+by a notification daemon, and may present the notification in any number
+of ways. As such, there is a clear separation of content and presentation,
+and this API enforces that.
