Are there any connections between the new Manifest spec and the
configuration document specified [1] in Packaged Web Apps? Have all of the
attributes that go into a configuration been considered as possible
Manifest members?

Going by the use cases document, there are at least two characteristics
(offline, no navigation bar) that define a standalone app. Are there any
more characteristics that a standalone app should have? Should these be
noted in the spec? Could there be any benefit to enumerating these
characteristics in the manifest? Iım wondering whether it would be useful
to say that the web app provides a native app UI but still requires the
device to be online.

Thanks,

Alan
