The problem with adding too many classifications is that developers don't know 
how to classify any given notification.  Is Frobbling a Quite Major or Very 
Major (or only Moderately Major) notification?

Maybe making them more semantic would be better.  Informational (eg: user came 
online), Alert (eg: user is chatting to you), Error (eg: can't connect to the 
network), Critical Error (your computer is about to go bang).

Anyway, details about priorities are something that should probably be hashed 
out separately.  I think a priority system would be very useful, though - 
filtering out informational and alert messages in a presentation, for example, 
would be very useful.
