In addition, notification information isn't versioned and can change at will. Currently we've taken the approach of treating the notification as a sign that something has happened and that we should get current state from the API.

Michael suggested i start a mailing thread, but we also have a session tomorrow set aside for these kinds of discussions with other projects (2). If anyone's available to join us that would be splendid.
