It sounds like this is putting the horse before the bit -- there is still a
lot of turmoil out there regarding NotifyOSD's positioning. The "Work for
Lucid" section *should* say something more like

" Positioning: Determine the driving requirements for notification bubble
positioning and separate them from the 'nice-to-haves'. Perform a trade
study comparing all possible solutions against the requirements to identify
those that satisfy requirements."

We can keep moving the notifications around every time Ubuntu is released, *
or* we could pin down *what we actually need* to accomplish in notification
positioning and get it done. Right. This time.
