We have to have a stable URL for locating the manifest resource for describing a site, or the user agent can not retrieve an updated version of the resource, that's what URLs are for.

If any manifest resource linked from any page of the site is assumed to supercede any previously retrieved manifest from any other page, then the default scope has to be the origin of the app. But that seems like a dangerous and unreliable updating strategy.
