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

So what you are proposing is that if we need all of the features of an app manifest (name, description, icons, language, context information) but we want to use ServiceWorkers then we should design our own mechanism for developers to provide this information in a custom ServiceWorkerRegistration extension?

That suggests to me that this opening line of the app manifest spec is a little misleading "This specification defines a JSON-based manifest file that provides developers with a centralized place to put metadata associated with a web application".

What app manifest actually defines is a very specific mechanism for providing browsers with installability signals for a website that can be "packaged" to work like an app. It is very specific to a use case that comes from the desire to put icons on people's home screens not define a common place and format for app meta-data.
