Re: [w3c/manifest] Integration with service workers (#161)

That would not be great, imo - developers need to be in control of the payment registration process AND the service worker. Trying to hide those details, while also supporting the imperative API would be confusing. 

Let's just get payments working with Service Workers first and then if it all works together, look at how we can then make something declarative (via a library first, then maybe standardize later). Trying to standardize something based on web manifest now seems premature - and of limited value, specially if the payments API needs to work without any manifest at all.
