Re: [manifest] Define identity of a web app. (#272)

I just don't think that the manifest spec in its current form (with all the requirements and restrictions documented in this repo) is fit for defining identity.
Please consider the requirement for multiple apps per manifest or the fact that `start_url` is not a mandatory member of the manifest. It seems that the manifest is just a collection of additional info about app(s).

So: define identity in the spec but leave its interpretation entirely to the user's OS+UA combination? How interoperable will that be?
