If anybody has read my comments about using XML on notifications, I
finnaly understood that there is no need to add complexity to get a good
visualization, so if somebody has some of that emails, they can be
ignored.

As far as I can see from the current published spec (0.3), it provides
enought data [1] and clues [2] to make a reasonable presentation of
notifications.

Transforming that data into XML/XSL/XHTML whatever should be handled by
the notification applet if it wants to.  The only restriction that I see
is that the current markup [3] SHOULD NOT be expanded to add any
color/layout on it

The spec at the current version is fine focusing on "what",
implementations will work with "how"
