Which is an interesting point.
I can only think of three levels of priority, and it's not really
priority at all.
1) I'd like to be told about this sort of message, at some point, if
you can.
2) I need to be told about this message.
3) I absolutely must be made immediately aware of this message.
The trouble is, that no amount of priority twiddling will express
this - the only place to express it is in what method is used.
This in turn makes me wonder whether we actually need an intermediate
service which dispatches the notifications at some point in the
future, which can be told how best to contact us, depending on the
importance of us reacting to that notification.
