Marcos,

I noticed that the manifest JSON is also providing an 'appcache_path' member. I am wondering its purpose since web app can specify the appcache manifest URL in the web page like:

<html manifest="example.appcache">
...
</html>

Why not use the manifest attribute in html tag and re-invent a new one?


Thanks
Hongbo
