Bill—

Thank you for testing this systematically with that push demo.

I agree, this seems like the best approach.  I found this [1] which
looks promising as it speaks of web standards.  It does have
JavaScript.  I don't have enough knowledge about the web stack to judge
if it's libre and/or trivial, and if that may be necessary for web
notifications.

In any case, if I use this test, it again does not work in icecat with
dom.push.enabled=true (no text appears in the console and there is no
pop-up).

It does work in ungoogled-chromium (text appears in the console and
there is a pop-up).  So a work-around for push services is at hand.
