Research direction

Start with the MDN Notification.silent page and compare its current compatibility data with the WHATWG pull request and MDN issue linked in the report. Update the data so the silent option's default is represented as null, then verify that the new "silent defaults to null" subfeature is shown for the relevant browsers.
