I actually meant a spec about the behaviour of notifications in general. 
   The timeouts and dismissal methods for all of the notifications 
should probably be consistent - we don't want to require users to click 
for some but not on others, and they should be able to reasonably expect 
all of the notifications to last for times around the same order of 
magnitude.
