The Web App Manifest answers this issue by saying that `dir` and `lang` only applies to the "directionality-capable members" of the manifest, not to the content of the resources themselves.
As for other metadata like `name`, it says that the values contained in the HTML document linking to the manifest MAY be used as fallbacks, but that the manifest metadata is authoritative.
