Thanks a lot for bring this issue to mailing list!

When I had a discussion in web apps wg in yesterday, Mike(W3C) raised issue
about administrative issue. So I have type "b" in mind. but I would like to
get feedback from the group members

I am not sure Web apps WG is willing to make manifest specs including
packaged web app. I understood as Web Apps handle only for part related
