I agree with you on "lights", we rather have fewer apps that would create so many noifications that would drain the battery.
About "vibration"  and "sound", I know they will be kind of useless at some point, but as long as we do not have a way to let the user specify notifications settings we could let the apps to suggest to the UA which behavior their notifications should have, without ending up annoying the user or waste resources.

I have read the spec again and I could not see any information regarding the actions a replacing notification should trigger. Firefox OS for instance triggers these actions every time.
