If there are aspects then of the UX that are necessary to define at least in terms of function if not UI, e.g. permission notices and grants and how pre-arranged trust may affect that, shouldn't that be addressed in this WG as part of an app lifecycle discussion?

WebApps is addressing the installation aspects in its installable apps API (I doubt that it will mandate any UX, but it ought to provide the hooks for it). System can define lower-level things such as permissions.

Yes, the last iteration of the charter reflects that. There will have to be coordination between DAP, System, and WebApps - but that was only to be expected.
