Web manifest defines a web app's "navigation scope" [1], which allows it to claim some portion of same-origin URL space as its own. An OS could use this URL space to route native apps navigations to these URLs to the appropriate (installed) web application. Native apps could then continue to use their own URLs (and fake protocols) to achieve the deep linking. so: Facebook://whatever/ To "Awesome Web App": http://awesome.app/something/awesome And back to, say, github (as works today): github://somerepo_or_whatever [1] http://w3c.github.io/manifest/#navigation-scope
