Absolutely.  I'd consider this to be the main reason for the working
group.  We can only really declare success if the protocol works for
the API.

There may be others who benefit, such as the many developers who might
be able to discard redundant implementations of proprietary protocols
for doing push for different platforms, but the W3C effort is the main
driver here.
