Re: Fixing appcache: a proposal to get us started

Hi Jonas,

I don't get a good sense from this proposal (and NavigationController) about what the scope of an application is. E.g., if both
  http://example.com/fooApp
and 
  http://example.com/barApp
say that they both grab the URL
  http://example.com/app
who wins?

More to the point, what's stopping 
  http://users.example.edu/~bob/  
from taking over responses from
  http://users.example.edu/~alice/
?

Also along these lines - I see an outstanding question that some people want to host multiple apps on the same URL. Is that really wise?

If anything, I'd go the other way and say that one hostname = one app; then the scoping of and separation between apps is intuitive (e.g., fooApp.example.com, barApp.example.com). You could even define a well-known location for the manifest, so that people could just type the hostname in to install / view the app...

Cheers,
