What variables are there available in the Facebook Notification API Templating?

Scrolling through Facebooks App Notification section of the API, you will find details about the templating at the very bottom, here.

@[USER_ID] is mentioned, which is converted into the recipients full name. Are there other such dynamic inputs available when sending notifications? If there are, such inputs would be very useful for me and potentially anyone using the API. I've had a look around and can't find any information about this. It wouldn't be the first time undocumented functionality exists in the Facebook API, however.

I've had a look, and also found no documentation on this. But given the verbose syntax, i would suspect not much else is supported.

But supposedly it is possible to insert username (not to confused with person full name!) by using {12345} in your message, if this user authed your app. Thats according to this Facebook App Notifcations PHP question.

I'm afraid that is all i can point out, besides experimenting with more ;:.~+!#$%^&*@[]{}() bracket combinations. I would expect notifications have template insert mechanisms for the App name, its organization name, and perhaps even for the number of unread notifications. Whether these are exposed to API users, i wouldn't know..
