Semantics: notifyext

To improve the man page wording of notifyext, and notifycmd: what is the semantics of ext? external, or extra?
Source code says "extra", but conventionally ext would mean external.

It is indeed extra since it is run separately in addition to notifycmd. Yes, the notifycmd part is a bit confusing since it will run the command in a specific way, as it sends the argument into the command, but notifyext just runs the command specified without additional arguments.

Closing this since I don't know what should I do here.
