That does not seem like enough justification for not having the module be 
usable in such a broader fashion. It is obvious to anyone implementing this for 
your use case that the notifications must be implemented. If you feel that it 
is not obvious for some reason a simple sentence can make that clear. Although 
I would think that sentence might start with the word "Obviously, ..." :)

Thanks,
Chris.
