This was an attempt at solving use-case #2 here:
http://www.w3.org/community/fixing-appcache/2012/01/18/appcache_use_cases/#use_case_2

Allow an application hosted on a cluster of servers to be easily updated
An application is hosted on a cluster of servers behind a non-sticky load
balancer. It is updated daily. Even though all servers are not updated
instantly and two versions of the application co-exist for a while, it is
possible to update the application without risking to have an out-of sync
version of the application (e.g. manifest file and assets of the latest version
combined with a Master Entry of the previous version) or to need to invalidate
the cache to avoid such issues.

Probably would have been more useful to provide the use case upfront rather
that potential solutions.
