Re: [manifest] Allow multiple application contexts per app (#294)

Chrome OS supports multiple windows per app https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_lifecycle#create_windows so the Chrome Web Store might be a good place to look for existing use cases. We're unlikely to find use cases in native mobile apps because it simply isn't possible.

Given that a browsing context can create other browsing contexts and an application context is a type of browsing context, I would re-phrase the question as "why should application contexts be artificially limited to one per app?". I would argue that just because that's a limitation of existing mobile platforms doesn't mean that limitation should be carried over to the web.
