Hi, The idea is that the manifest as described in the current spec should be as simple as possible, and just cover the use-cases of bookmarks and hosted web apps (save to home screen and the like). This allows for the spec to be more broadly applicable and hopefully get support from most vendors. The base manifest as described in the spec, can be extended by other extension specs; and we are considering doing exactly that for packaged apps as part of the SysApps work.
