If we want to treat empty string different from missing for
body/tag/icon we could make them nullable. Not sure that's worth it
though. Shall I clarify the specification that they should be the
empty string as well?

Well, "invalid_icon_url" is not an invalid URL, but if you had used
e.g. "http://test:test/" it would have to return the same as n1.
n3.icon should return "http://non-existent-icon.com/" per
http://notifications.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-notification-icon

Done.
