Hi all,

Agree with Peter, that server side is not needed for communication:

Nothing precludes an application from not needing a server side at all. I

> "The component of an application that *usually* runs on a server and
> requests the delivery of a push message."

Relevant commit:
https://github.com/webpush-wg/webpush-protocol/pull/90/commits/e0222007081cbf4c96e7c285d54154840d374b6d

According to the rapid growth of IoT devices, WebPush protocol could get a
popularity for power efficient M2M communications. In this case would be
better not to fix client-server architecture/terms and use something like
sender/receiver (or something similar) instead of AS/UA.

Best regards,
Idel Pivnitskiy
