Yes you’re right, I’ve not used the right terminology. I was referring to a zone in the
top menu bar on the right (but left of the existing search icon) where apps could
contribute new icons, similar to what exists on OSX.
For example check the top right of
http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17hbqlh3z3feijpg/ku-xlarge.jpg (they call it menu bar
icons).
I like this better because:
1) It’s an UIX, it’s apps that can contribute to it
2) We have removed menu entries in the top bar and thus we have lots of available
horizontal space
3) We define a standard for all apps
The idea would for apps to contribute notifications and states there.
WDYT?
Thanks

There is a little variant with the "badge" displayed in the same line than
the last modification date. It does not take more vertical space.
I've just added a new iteration:

Thanks.
I still don’t like that it takes more vertical space and that it doesn’t
solve the general problem of notifications.
Why not implement the notification area in the top menu bar as discussed
in a few places?
I don't understand how the state of the current page (is it watched by the
current user or not?) is related to "notification". To me, notifications
are relevant to inform the user that a new message has been received or
that a watched page has been modified, but not to inform about the state of
the current page. In other words, notifications are about "events", and not
about "state”. 
Thanks,
