Terminology issues, I guess… (I hope!). We still have to define what response the server would return on a URL for a WP, right (in terms of mime type, etc). If I use a URL for a HTML or an SVG page, and I issue a HTTP GET, the server would return the corresponding mime type. The same should be known for the WP case.

(What I would probably expect is that the return would be something like an (extended) Web Manifest, or a (HTML) page with a reference to a manifest somewhere. But that is to be defined.)

I seem to be absolutely old skool here, but what would be, in your view, the right terminology?

Cheers

Ivan
