differentiating between new posts on dashboard and new messages/asks in titlebar

[amconners]

When I was preparing to suggest a feature to differentiate between new posts and new messages/asks in the Tumblr titlebar, it directed me to check what would not be implemented, among which was Tab Titles. I assume this means anything that changes the HTML title attribute that would then show up as the name of the tab, and my idea would do exactly that.

So my questions are: 1) am I correct in this assumption? and 2) if that's what it means, is it not going to be implemented because it's impossible or not feasable, or are there just not currently good reasons to do so?

I don't want to submit a feature request for something impossible, as that would just waste everyone's time, but I also think that if it is possible, this would be a convenient feature to have.

My use case and argument in favor of this: if I'm leaving a tumblr window or tab open while doing other work in the foreground, oftentimes it's because I'm holding a conversation and/or expecting a message and want to read and possibly reply to it as soon as possible. But if I'm using another tab in the same browser window or another maximized program besides my web browser, I can't see the content of the tumblr tab and need to rely on the title bar to know if I've received a message. As it currently stands, if I see "(1) Tumblr" I have no way to know if I got a message, an ask, or if someone I follow just posted something, and I have to check the tab to be sure. If something like "(86|0|1) Tumblr" were possible (to mean 86 new posts, no new asks, and one new message) then I'd have all the information I need in a still-mostly-concise package (small enough to readably fit in a tab's titlebar or an OS's window list), though assuming this is indeed possible, I'd also like to open to discussion the specifics of the formatting since the (86|0|1) example is just an example pulled off the top of my head.
