Then again, neither is pushing the entire page down for a notice at the top of the screen, and then moving everything after a couple of seconds just as the user is about to click on a button/link/whatever. It's amazing how many sites (and browsers!) currently do this particular stupid thing.

Yes, this 1000x over. I hate it when you have a huge DOM being pushed down by 20px for a notification, go to click on a button just as the notification is closing itself.

I much prefer the notification to come down from the top, have slight transparency to show covered elements, and then a way to easily close it. Very similar to the demo.

Not pushing down DOM or obfuscating the navigation is not a hard design to make.
