I have no preference. Whatever is easiest for implementers. However, having it independently might be good for IANA registration purposes (or at least, making it easy to extract for review).

Ok, I'll clarify that (and should, of course, be restricted in the runtime doc). I was not sure if multiple instances of the same app could be run. It has been possible to run multiple instances of the same application in legacy runtimes with each instance running under their own origin - which is why I specified it that way.
