Re: [manifest] Won't related_application be needed at page load? (#364)

@mounirlamouri Correct me if I'm wrong but I assumed the purpose of related_applications was to offer the installation of a non-web app at the point of installing a web app, not to handle navigations when just browsing to a URL which has a non-web equivalent. As non-web apps generally require installation before they can be used that seems to make more sense? As discussed elsewhere, once a non-web app is installed (e.g. on Android) it can handle navigations to deep links within the app's scope without waiting for a manifest to load. The scope gets registered at install time.
