Absolutely agree.
It's better to have one thing to be done in only one place.

Should we be considering the incompatible between two or more 
'myapp.manifest's since different html files can have their own manifest.
e.g.
//myapp1.manifest
  CACHE MANIFEST
  index.html
  NETWORK
  server.cgi

//myapp2.manifest
  CACHE MANIFEST
  server.cgi
  NETWORK
  index.html
